I wonder if other people are as interested in the juxtaposition of these two articles that are essentially about the same thing. The first is an interview with Susan Greenfield, a neuroscientist. Supposedly this interview, in which she claims the way the brain works is being qualitatively changed by the Internet is making quite a stir http://www.linkedin.com/news?actionBar=&articleID=701784883&ids=0Pe3wQe3sNc3sIdj4NcP0Qcz0Tb3ARe3gSdP8MdOMNczAOcjwOc3sId3cQczkTcz0T&aag=true&freq=weekly&trk=eml-tod-b-ttle-113 I hope the link works. The second is an article is a discussion about a play Sleep No More in New York. It is not only the hottest play among theater types in New York but a very new style of theater that the writer of the article suggests is based in computer games more than Shakespeare (it is based on McBeth). It sounds extraordinary. I know people traveling from all over the East Coast to catch this. The style as a whole is not completely new, it is proscenium theater which has been around for a few years, but....well just read the article - really Shakespeare in the Internet age. http://www.salon.com/life/theater/index.html?story=/ent/feature/2011/08/16/sleep_no_more_args Really, I wonder, what would Cultural Historical theory have to say to all this - really this all started with Stanislavsky. Is Shakespeare in the Internet Age the same as a grasshopper in Russian? It makes you think. Michael
