There was Shakespeare in my dream the other night. Entertainingly enough, lines about dreaming, from R&J. ( I.iv.)

ROMEO: I dream'd a dream to-night.
MERCUTIO: And so did I.
ROMEO: Well, what was yours?
MERCUTIO: That dreamers often lie.
ROMEO: In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.

I love how Leonard Whiting says that last line in the '69 movie version....

Sonnet 73

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

That is one of my very favorite contemporary plays, and it's about one of my very favorite plays by The Bard himself. :-)

I just watched Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead this past week. I liked it, and thought it was rather clever. It has very humorus commentary on the play and on the English language. I thought Gary Oldman did a good job, especially.

ok i got confused for a second

Skye, I mean a version that has notes in it to help you understand what he is talking about. Sometimes he uses words we do not use today, or he'll make a reference to Greek Mythology, and the annotated version will help explain them.

you mean like a modern day version of it

Skye, he is hard to understand, but the more you read him, the easier it gets. Plus, it helps to have an annotated edition.

Has anyone seen this version of Julius Caesar (2003), starring Jeremy Sisto? (Somewhat of a yummy guy, but not sure about him in Shakespeare.)

If so, what did you think about it? Is it worth watching?
