struggling to find a post where it talks about how Shakespeare shouldnt be analyzed and she just be enjoyed and somewhere along the post it also talks about pulling up to the globe theater with the homies and making fun of the size of someone's balls and i really cant find it so tumblr gods.. have mercy on me
Additionally there was another post about how Frankenstein was basically depressed for 75% of the book and i also cant find it
I time travel back to the globe theatre in 1599 to find Mr. Willy Shakes himself and explain that in the future actors have become what essentially amounts to our modern gentry. That through the existence of magic moving pictures they have the ability to act in front of any audience at any time. Making them household names. I explain the Oscars to him in grueling detail. He strangles me to death with a pair of his gay little stockings when I tell him about the best actress awards.
To winnow it out from the crowd, one of the best staging choices I've seen for Julius Caesar
was the moment in the Globe 2014 production where Brutus asks his servant Strato - who’s been sitting with his back to the audience and wearing a hat with a wide brim - to help him commit suicide;
Strato stands while taking off his hat to reveal that he’s played by Caesar’s actor.
(a collective gasp went around the theatre; really lent a whole new meaning to ‘Caesar, now be still. I killed not thee with half so good a will’)
Many actors play Jaques as brooding, griping, bitter, practically suicidal, especially Kevin Kline in Kenneth Branagh's 2006, weirdly Asian-fetish version.
In the Globe Theatre's 2010 production of As You Like It, Tim McMullan's Jaques is a cheeky, smiling, laughing, sarcastic cynic. But he's not depressed or acidic. He's actually funny. And sexy.
I can't find the name of the gentleman who sings, but his voice is wonderful.
I'm back from watching a screening of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". And once again I fail to see why people believe his plays to be too pretentious. They are so silly.
"Yes, that's my daughter, at list her mother tells me so"
Whatever Benedick was doing half (all) of the time
They went along with the funeral for a very much alive girl. Just to mess with her fiancé.
The double meaning jokes
The "love letters" unwilling exchange. and "Well, I guess now we have to marry eachother as it seems that we are in love"
