" My first Shakespeare (read, rather than performed). I'd just turned fourteen and was interested in Knowing the Literary Canon. I pretty much picked this play at random and imagined Orlando Bloom the whole time (Pirates of the Caribbean had just come out if you recall). I printed off "Why should this a desert be?" and stuck it to our fridge and for that reason still use the word "quintessence" more than any person should. It's also retained a very special place in my heart because it was the first. "

" People falling in love, cross-dressing in the woods, crazy coincidences, and happily ever after in the end. It's like A Midsummer Night's Dream, but not interesting or magical.
