cicely berry and shakespeare's voices

hamlet's soliloquy that i've heard and read a hundred times was spoken by a young brazillian girl from the favelas. she spoke the words to people walking around, turning from her, so that she was not heard. those words became so real. so real was the confusion, the desperation and the angst in "to be or not to be..." i heard her speak those words in a language i cannot understand, and i understood them profoundly and my heart was broken.
