Shakespeare in the Bush

Someone cited one of my all-time favorite articles today, and I'd like to share it with you. "Shakespeare in the Bush" is a revelation of how very different human cultures can be, and how that affects our interpretation of literature. This is a must-read for fans of anthropology, theatre, or sociological science fiction.

I generally don't get into theatrical stuff ... but if I were ever going to stage a play, it would be Shakespeare in the Bush with an all-black cast (well, possibly including a white narrator for the setup).
