As he would. As I did, less colourfully. The characters seem so ordinary, until you go on a little bit and their extreme weirdness starts to emerge. It's made even stranger by language that doesn't herald anything peculiar, so the drama unfolds almost prosaically but with more impact for all that.

Indeedy. I guess you & Pigsnort does not say HOLY FRIJOLES! for just any book. BTW, an unknown gifter gave me a book called THE WEIRD SISTERS about 3 girls in a scholarly milieu whose dad speaks only in Shakespearean verse. Pigsnit remarked that if this were my memoir, it should haf been called THE WEIRD WEIRDO. I think he wuz being snippy but Im not sure.

Wombat starts his Sydney Shakespeare Festival in less than a week and it'll run for six weeks.
There has been much mutterly Shakespearean verse and reversing for months. On Thursday evening his Hamlet's Ghost will open the production, while on Saturday he'll be Baptista lamenting his unruly Katherina in Taming of the Shrew.
In what way were the sisters weird?

I dont know. I havent read it yet. Ive just flipped through it, dropping cheez doodles on the interesting looking parts.
Who the heck is Baptista? Is that Katherina's dad?
