Shakespeare may seem an odd match for a group of hardened criminals, but he found that they understand the bard on a level most of us might not. It's a play about murder and its consequences, performed by murderers, living out the consequences.<< Norman ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V5 #173 ***********************************
