Why I like my work

Brammers: Not having read War and Peace is one thing, but not having read Hamlet? It only takes an hour and a half!

Workmate: And it rhymes!

*is jealous* Most of my workmates have only heard of 'Hamlet' in a boring-movie-i'll-never-watch sort of context. Shakespeare is love, and I will be forever thankful that I read 'Macbeth' before it was tainted by high school English teaching practices.
Have you seen the Australian 'Macbeth'? Its set in a Melbourne gangland context and is BRILLIANT!
I have never read 'War and Peace', though.

James McAvoy as Macbeth. Brilliant.

I was thinking of the version with Sam Worthington in the title role, in which Burnham wood coming to Dunsinane is played out as a ram-raid with a log truck :D

I've not, though I really want to. Bell Shakespeare did a great one the other year that we missed, too. My workplace is fun, you would like my workmates, mad the lot of them ;-)

I'll lend you Anna Karenin and if you like it you can try Resurrection and if you still like it, we'll set you up with War and Peace ;-)
