Well watching me grow up, you probably saw me explore each of these. Hamlet is something I continue to dwell on, like an oil derrick in the desert that never seems to run dry.

Look Back in Anger I saw on Bravo (in the days where they had arts, and not "real" housewives of Moline) and saw a version with Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh which blew me away. There's also a Richard Burton/E. Taylor version from '58 which is just alright.

The Stoppard is probably one of the most fascinating and thoughtful plays I've ever come across. The film version with Gary Oldman is wonderful.
