I have the part of Iago in our school's production of Othello, and despite being relatively good at drama etc, I've never actually had to learn an entire shakespeare part (other than a couple of monologues.)

so... how do I go about this?

Iago's monologues have been cut slightly and some are missing, as that dude speaks sooooo much, and our prospective audience are somewhat new to shakespeare.

I have a black/grey dress made of recycled silk and it says on the washing instructions "Dry Clean Only" but... obviously if I can, I would rather not. Does anyone know if it can be handwashed safely in cold or warm water?

I have a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with an illustration of Dumbledore with a shorter brown beard and brown hair. It was bought before the book shot to metoric fame, and soon after the, Dumbly was altered to look old on the back cover.

Is my copy worth anything?
