yay, RSC!
i've seen their Complete History of America (abridged). i've seen their Complete History of the Bible (abridged). i've seen their Complete History of the World (abridged), which was a special Y2K thing. oddly enough, i've never actually seen their Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), though i've read it several times.
and now they're doing All the Great Books (abridged). woo-hoo! i'm so there. although, looking at the list, i've read surprisingly few of these ...

See, I've never actually *seen* the RSC perform, but I've seen their Shakespeare performed. :-D If that makes sense. So I'm excited.
