There is a place where Shakespeare fans and World of Warcraft gamers intersect: Dana and Reggie’s Ministry of Shakespeare.
Lovers of the Bard: Dana Vagg and Reggie "Pooh Bear" Batusik
Dana is, as you know, our beloved Sister Mary Martha and Reggie is her Pooh Bear. Reggie is also a big-time World of Warcraft gamer and recently did a guest appearance on a WoW blog called The Instance, hosted by Scott Johnson and Randy Jordan. The co-hosts gave the Ministry of Shakespeare a shout-out at the end of Reggie’s segment. As it turns out, many of those orcs, healers, wisps, hunters and steampunks have a hankering for Hamlet as well. The result of that shout-out was over 5,000 hits to the Ministry of Shakespeare site in a little over a week, and over 300 unique visitors a day for 6 days running. Now, if only those gamers could discover Sister Mary Martha’s Martyrology…
