I had to watch REEFER MADNESS at the BackStage Theater for one of my papers in my acting class. I haven't got very much to say about the production as it failed to strike a chord with me. The ensemble pulled their performances off pretty well though. I have to give them a hand for that.
Anyway, the play makes an allusion to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as sort of a means of underlining the tragedy within the play. As I was sitting in my seat, I thought to myself, "Shakespeare is indeed one compleat literary genius, perhaps the best in the universe!". His work is so universal that eons and light years later, the themes still apply.
The dude is dead but he still rocks my socks off. I just want to know how someone can write something so tragic it translates off as immortally beautiful.
For that, I raise my cup of chamomile tea and honey. I pray that the bard would honor me with a visit and bring along my muse.
