Anonymous and Shakespeare

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.10.28

I met my friends Geoff and Mariko-san and two of their friends in seeing the movie "Anonymous" tonight.

It was excellent. I don't know much about the era, but I'd read a play that Geoff wrote on the same subject (the true identity and life of the Bard) a decade ago, and really enjoyed this movie. It was brilliantly made. I understand that the director usually makes mindless action films, incredibly.

I had a long cycle trip up to Yonge and Eglinton and then down to the Beaches that I can only describe as "bracing". It couldn't have been ten degrees Celsius.
