I remember reading this in high school and probably haven't thought much about it since. I love reading or seeing the classics as an adult. Our perspectives are so completely different. We have life experiences now that can help us to identify with the characters. We have grown up emotions. We have the sensibility to digest the story differently. This was no exception. I went in not expecting much since it was a college production but it was very well done. From the lighting, sounds, effects and costumes to the acting it really was a good show. I saw these actors from all over the country and wondered who might go on to become someone big someday. I also took my children. I love that my six year old has already experienced Broadway, the symphony, sports events, live bands, the stage and an opera.
Pick up a classic and read it as an adult. See a movie that has always been elusive for one reason or another. Find some local theater. Find a reason to feel young and grown up all at the same time.
