File under "Life is unfair" - I went to bed early so I wouldn't be tired all day, and ended up waking up in the middle of the night. For two hours. I just can't win for losing right now.

No news is supposed to be good news regarding my father. I'll be calling in again after work.

I have resolved into a dew to see Hamlet regardless: Britain's most prestigious players doing England's greatest play is hardly going to be a bad night on the town regardless of my preference for the comedies. If I repeat the mantra enough, I may even feel the truth of it.

I do feel the truth of this statement: If I come back having seen five of the six actors I went to see perform, then I have nothing to complain about.

However, in the "shallow Nea is still shallow" department, I have to confess that if he isn't back in time for me to see, I hope he doesn't come back at all for the run. (Considering that healing properly is THE most important thing so we all have a chance to see him another time, I rather doubt he will be back.) But it would really gut me to find out that he'd returned to the stage just as I returned to America, or worse, while I was still in the town but not in the theater.

I'm amused that he was introduced with the "...you're coming back a star!" speech.

It's the RSC. They don't do bad, or untalented. That he's pulled it off at all with the weight of all that expectation and all that disappointment on him is really quite amazing.
