as flies to wanton boys

jus came back from my most expensive theatre outing ever - ian mckellen in 'king lear' - but it was totally worth it! fortunately, i did my homework and read the play with explanations+++ beforehand, cuz shakespeare def spoke a different english from me. tat, coupled with the past 3 months' experience of watching jap interview clips, have prepared me for coasting along with only grasping the main gist of the story.

still, it was GOOD, with a superb cast and a powerful ending. and of course, 3-&-half hours of why sir ian mckellen is great :)

( tat i got to see them brought to life... )
