We were watching jlrpuck when some woman drove up, slowed to go around her, and shouted at me through her open window, “Idiots!”
*mouth drops open* What were you doing? Maybe she's just sick of tourists!
I asked her how she liked Stratford, and she said she was sick of tourists and hated Shakespeare.
!!! It's the lady in the car from earlier! She was following you!
We chatted for a while longer, and he was disappointed to learn I had no future theater tickets. Arctacuda and jlrpuck said he was clearly leaning toward me and I should have gone for a drink with him.
I totally agree.
Here’s a man whose fame is so huge he apparently wears disguises to move around Stratford and needs a bodyguard to protect him from the press of fangirls desperate to see him. And no one in America has any idea who he is.
I have heard that Hamlet might go to Broadway when it's done in the West End. I have no idea if he'd go with it - I hope he does, partially because I might get to see him in it, partially because as you say, no one here knows who he is. So he'd get the exposure, and he'd be able to wander around New York more or less anonymous. Which would be awfully nice for him.
