She’s doing Shakespeare.
Now, I know that in celebrity blogging circles, normally the phrase “she’s doing Shakespeare” doesn’t usually come up unless there’s a rapper by that name somewhere and they’ve been caught having sex. But this is a day of firsts, folks, and that means I’m filling you in on a celebrity about to take on a role in a Shakespearean production.
Hathaway will be taking the role of Viola in Twelfth Night in Central Park’s Public Theatre later this summer. I’m actually pretty enthused–Hathaway had a chance to exhibit some of her range playing in “Rachel Getting Married” recently, so much so that she’s being bandied around in the same breath as Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet for an Oscar nod.
I may not get the chance to see it, but best wishes to Hathaway. Break a leg!
