Sophia, great photos. I enjoyed all the ones you posted; some are quite modern/contemporary, aren't they?

I am sorry not to have been active as yet, I have some good ideas, but I am restrained now with a broken down computer at home and having to rely on these library computers, presently; therefore, I do not have assess to my own photo files, which are at home on disks or my injuried HD. I may be with a computer for a number of weeks and have only limited time here. I will try and see what I have uploaded to my photo program, that I can post in here in the meantime. I am out of time now. So it will have to be my next trip to the library. So sorry for all this delay.

PS: I will answer your PM's soon.

Wow, nice thread ladies. The pictures certainly alter some perceptions of the play.

Oh, Janine glad to see you returned! And sorry for your injured computer Hope it will recover soon to see you here. Unfortunately my classes have been started and I don't have enough time to be on the net but I do my best to come and update this thread and also comment in other threads.

yes it is a contemporary one it was performed in 2000.

Thank you Virgil. Hope you post some comment here, too. And seeing this Hermione, I think Leon is right to be jealous she is beautiful

Well, Sophia, I am not really back; I figure I will technically take this coming month off to concentrate on a new computer. This is problematic but I think I can resolve my indecision about how to proceed if I take it one step at a time. I do need a computer; I can't live without one now!
That is fine and hope I can also sneak in some photos when I have more time. Tonight is bad - I am back at the library and I don't have my file of course; I could look up what I have on Photobucket but I don't have time now - they close at 9 and this is the first thread I have checked in with. I will have to resume again next week - since the library will be closed all weekend due to the holiday, our 4th of July - Independence Day.

This thread should be fun Virgil. Glad you could stop by. That is true about the play but I just got another rendition in the mail and it looks quite a bit different than this modern version. You guys are so funny, shortening all the names. I listened to disk one last night again and alas, fell sound asleep. I think I get to the part where Hermoines is trying to defend herself and going off to prison with her ladies in waiting and that is when I drop off into dreamland. I want to go over there and check on the progress of that discussion. I am so sorry to be missing it; disappointing for me.

Happy to hear from you! Althugh my computer is Ok, but it is the same case here I cannot surf the net like before as my classes started and I don't have enough time unfortunately ... being a strudent is better than being a teacher

I hope I can handle this thread and more people stop and comment here! Waiting for your return, Janine

These photos is from the same production Janine post a photo:

Director - Gregory Doran

[Janine]

Sophia, I like the photos very much. That is the production I own and watched once so far; I plan another viewing this weekend. If I can dig up more from the production, when I get a computer at home, I will post them. I can't be on here very long today - still using the library computers and they are so limited. They close in a hour and I have to get around to all my friends (emails, etc).

I assure you when I do return, I will post up a storm on this thread. I have tons of good photos on files of various Shakespeare productions, both stage and screen and also opera and ballet based on the Bard's work. I can't wait to be able to do this.

I will also start a few new threads, that we talked about earlier. Hope you can find some time to stop in or post some photos in my two new threads as well. Be patient and it will all happen.

Sophia, take care and enjoy your weekend! J

Got happy to see you here, thank you for the post, I'm waiting for your new threads and of course I share. Take care and see you soon!

[Janine]

Sophia, only can be on here a short time - at my library computer again. I actually found today I have a whole book on operas and many are based on literature. I could not believe I forgot that I had this book - I picked it up free at this library awhile back thinking it might come in handy one of these days. I think at least it will direct me to some interesting photos online - such as operas based on Shakespeare - there seems to be many of those and other classical authors. I am sure there is many on Greek mythology, don't you?

Be patient and when I get my new computer I will post many photos as I come across them or from the extensive files I have burned to a CD. I found that today so it should be a good place to begin.

[Janine]

I will be posting soon on this site. I have my new computer up and running and it is fabulous! ....and am working on setting it up to customize my settings, etc...fine tuning to my needs. I also have to make the HD backup disks and then I can start some photo files to upload to my online program and this will be one of my first sites to post them on. I can't wait to do so. I have some great ideas on plays/films to present. I wonder what is happening in the Shakespeare thread - I hope I am not too late to comment.
Be back soon ~ J
