Dreams and visions

Survived my first lecture of the week. 
Forty 16 year olds from Aberdeen at 9:00 AM. 
(Thank God for Starbucks.) 
Prepped for days (okay, hours) to give a bang-up presentation on the stage history of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and all they wanted to do was talk about the fact that David Tennant's performing in Stratford this season -- and who, I might add, is not even in this season's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream...
But heck, what's not to love? And if it gets the kids excited, why not?

David Tennant as Berowne in Love's Labours Lost

Tennant as Berowne with love-interest Rosaline
