creating this thread because the music thread was going a little off topic, and also so that the people posting in the music thread can keep to talking about music.

You have good taste. I've never seen these plays, but I've watched several of them in movie form and enjoyed them. Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson used to play in the best movies together.

As posted in the latest music thread:
My favourite must be The Tempest, if I had to choose, I think. I interpret it as a reflection on rationality and emotion, gaining understanding and thus freeing oneself. A meta-analysis maybe, of the human condition and art, fiction. Maybe Peter Pan was inspired by it. And don't say *******, the Scottish play: it is bad luck.  See: the forum elves agree.

I'd love to see a television series with all Shakespeare's plays, maybe all mixed together in some creative way like BBC's Sherlock has done with Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about Sherlock Holmes.
Maybe animated.

For those who don't know: "exactly" 400 years ago, Shakespeare died (not as if we know for sure).

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing.

It's all very philosophical. And there are pervasive themes. It's absolutely great and (maybe/quite) genuinely awesome.

I'm a blasphemous English teacher. I don't care for Shakespeare! But I like the taking of the shrew. I like the no fear Shakespeare series by sparknotes. It has the modern English along side the original text. Much easier to understand! I tried to teach the taking of the shrew to my students but they turned up their noses.

Can't they do that sparknotes thing with my posts as well? Or do I have to wait 400 years? I am sure they'll be around then.

I'm named after a Shakespearean character... A bloody crazy one at that.
 When new people forget my name they tend to just call me Hamlet. Sometimes I joke that my parents mentally doomed me. I'm named after a crazy lady and my initials are OCD (which I have) and everyone else in my family is neurotypical. It's Ophelia btw

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
