    Thank you, as always to the CLS and to the Cornwells for their support in bringing Shakespeare practitioners and educators to our city. They both also, in turn, played host to and funded productions launched by my company, Holy City Shakespeare, a decade ago. I admit, despite the interest and dedication of such fans and experts, it's still virtually impossible to produce live performances of these plays in Charleston. Adequate funding isn't there, the space isn't available or appropriate, and the audiences do not consistently come despite showing interest and always leaving thrilled afterwards. And to be honest, the city's resources do not recognize the value of serious and classically trained Shakespeare experts like myself. In my experience, only a few local actors are willing to be inspired by and learn the techniques of the best practitioners, and the casts of these plays is always large, even with creative casting. Further, the dearth of local opportunity for creating Shakespeare experiences creates petty competition among aficianados. I will never understand why conditions here make it so impossible to achieve what everyone proclaims to value. One person or a small group of people alone cannot make it happen, and despite the Cornwell's valiant commitment and successes, Charleston remains a Shakespeare desert. I'm no Dromgoole, but I've been trained, educated, and supported by the best in Britain. But honestly, no one here cares unless you are part of this small society network creating small society events like this one. I love them, they are valuable and important, but this is not what Shakespeare is for - it is to be performed, in a popular way, to reach and entertain wide audiences. It's a shame to see Charleston limit itself so persistently.

    A great writing style in which prose is like poetry. It’s certainly an eye-opening read in which the female role in the Rastafarian faith is presented. It’s also clear that practices vary from family to family and the one unifying symbol is Haile Selassie and the disdain for Babylon.

    Britain's bombings of Germany were in no way savage, the same way as Germany's atrocities in the Eastern front were not savage at all. Claiming that Russia is the most savage country on Earth in preposterous. As to the Russian casualties in WWII, one should compare military casualties (1,3 Russia: 1 Germany or 1,5 Russia: 1 Germany approximately) with military losses, not the civilian+military losses (Russia) with the military losses (germany). The Russian civilian population was just being eliminated by the Germans, as well as the Russian POWs. The latter way of comparing is pure propaganda, nothing to do with history. Bringing serfdom to the 2022 context is preposterous, too (anti-Russian bias). Also, no addressing of the methods of how Ukrainians reclute their troops.
