Did you attend the SAA conference in DC in April? If so, did you hear any papers that you found to be particularly compelling?

Are there any performances you think you absolutely must see in your lifetime? One of the best Shakespeare performances I've ever seen was pretty small and performed in the gardens at Clare College in Cambridge. They were doing a summer outdoor series and I saw a production of Twelfth Night that made me laugh harder than I'd ever laughed beforehand*. Whoever did the costuming found the most glorious neon-yellow and black leggings for Malvolio... I was in Stratford-upon-Avon when Patrick Stewart was playing Prospero in The Tempest and still haven't quite forgiven myself for not trying harder to get tickets. I know that the Folger is putting on Much Ado About Nothing and Hamlet next season. I'm kind of hoping they go with a longer Hamlet performance. I'd really like to see some of the scenes that usually get left out. I just saw that McKellan's RSC 2007 King Lear is out on DVD now too... So, what would make you say, "Yes, I absolutely must go watch that"? *Could also be attributed to the copious amounts of mulled wine they handed out before/during the performance.
