They have been airing "The Hollow Crown" part 2 on PBS. It's Shakespeare's plays about the Wars of the Roses. This half is the Henry VI ones and Richard III. It's really very good with an incredible cast (Okonedo, Cumberbatch, etc.) Unfortunately, I started watching and found I kind of couldn't. Don't know why, but it started to stir up all the recent ick about our politics and current situation. They're totally unrelated, and yet. Somehow, there feel like a few too many easy Shakespearean/operatic potentials in this election and our bleak future.
