Hamlets Madness
The “Big Bang” at the Hippodrome State Theatre in Downtown Gainesville, Florida is the opening play of the season. It went off with out a hitch and was raved about by a couple of friends of mine who told my girlfriend and me that we needed to attend it; so we did. “The Hippodrome State Theatre is North Florida's only professional regional theatre. Celebrating its 30th year of artistic excellence, the Hippodrome is designated as a Cultural Institution and a State Theatre of Florida” (Hippodrome website). The audience that I shared the pleasure of attending this outrageously funny version of history telling was a very diverse group. I saw people there of all ages, shapes, sizes, colors, and of course sexes. Being that it is a College town there is always going to be more people from the age bracket of 18 – 25 at an event like this.

Having studied history on and off through my academic years I have learned that I would do the required amount of memorization and forget the tables of facts right after the test. This play gave me the ability to take a comic view of the historical advents of my world and laugh the whole night through. It takes me to the old cliché “you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar” my meaning in this is that if all history was as much fun as this play my major might be the history of the world instead of sports medicine. But again sports medicine can be sort of tedious at times, the lesson learned is that to each his own. We all learn and enjoy different things and as we as a generation grow older and learn what it means to be adults, it means that others will take the tedious and make it more enjoyable for the masses that have to endure it.
