A Midsummer Night's Dream

When I first saw "The Mirror," I thought hey... What a cool Idea. Puck, the whole Shakespear thing. At that point I hadn't seen many ep's with the Shakespear type plot. Let just say it's my favorite Shakespear play... and that ep [The Mirror] just made the play even cooler.

I love the line, something like, "That Writer Shakespear wrote a play about him [Puck]."

I have seen the play, and am going to see it again in a couple weeks.

One Saturday I was watching some Mickey Mouse thing on TV. and they reinacted the play using the main Characters... Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Scrooge, and as puck, Goofy. Oberon and Julias Ceaser were there as well. But the thing that got me was what Scrooge said:
"Ah to Lex with yah." (The story was not word for word with the play, but kept most of the dialogue.)
I thought the whole thing was funny.

I wanted to thank you for getting me interested in Shakespear... although indirectly.

You're welcome. I was actually hoping that all the Shakespeare in GARGOYLES would pique the interest of a few of you. It's great to preach to the converted. But it's also nice to be the guy who did the introducing. (Sorry for the mixed metaphor.)
