Bent, hunchbacked, one leg gnarled like an ancient tree trunk, Kevin Spacey’s Richard III doesn’t look like a king — he looks like the Elephant Man. But he has the filmic Elephant Man’s cry backwards: He is an animal. He is not a human being, a man. He’s, of course, a raving beast. Spacey is thrilli ...

The first time I saw the trailer for Anonymous, I was intrigued. What if Shakespeare hadn't written his plays? Who else could have written them? Why wouldn't that person want his (or her!) name attached to that work? I thought it would be fascinating to revisit that period from a modern point of vie ...

I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them-- Why, I, in this weak, piping time of peace,, ...

It's a gift to be teaching a communications class in a heated primary season. What a feast of modern rhetorical prowess, or lack thereof, is on display, and I would be remiss in my job if I didn't talk about it.

Edmund Kean was a famous early 19th century English actor. My great grandfather was a collector of theatre memorabilia, and I have inherited this hand coloured and autographed print.
