Last week’s issue of LA Weekly had a couple of Shakespeare
references. In the section titled “GO LA,” for theatre for May 13th
it says, “The Play’s the Thing” (page 30). That’s obviously a reference to Hamlet’s
line from the end of Act II: “The play’s the thing/Wherein I’ll catch the
conscience of the king.”
Then, on the next
page, is a little blurb about a screening of Valley Girl. The first line is, “Valley Girl, the Romeo and
Juliet of the ‘80s, was released 30 bitchin’ years ago last month” (page
31).
(There may very well
be more Shakespeare references in this issue. I didn’t read the entire thing.)
