Nextlly wanted to be the kenneth braugnan. Heels i fell head over heels in love with shakespeare. I thought i can do this.

I auditioned for a local castssance faire and i was as romeo and romeo and juliet. I went to the renaissance fair all excited and i found out that romeo and juliet had been shrunk to half an hour.

Terrific book on the end of the cold war, the triumph of improvisation. James also works for the state department, the historical office.
