I abandoned this one an *age* ago, but I'm also ridonkulously busy at the moment. I don't even have time to procrastinate on Booklikes. *weeps* So this one is about a post-viral world where a travelling theatre group perform Shakespeare and ... something.

I finished this a few days ago and have been ruminating on it ever since. I quite liked the style and characterization, the movement through space and time, and the deftness with which the post-apocalyptic world was presented. I read Blindness about a month ago, and it's hard not to draw compariso...
