Five Truths

Went to a preview of Five Truths, a video installation by the genius Katie Mitchell. Part film, part theatre, part art installation- we were presented with five interpretations of Shakespeare's Ophelia in the style of five of the most important directors of the 20th Century.
Came home and looked at the speech, part of which goes like this..
Ophelia: Pray you, let's have no words of this; but when they ask you what it means, say you this:
To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine:
Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,
And dupp'd the chamber door;
Let in the maid, that out a maid
Never departed more.

Spooky....
