    Damn, making Shakespeare language into text speak is difficult. I daresay it is text speak proof!

    'What a piece of work is a chineese man who runneth late.'

    I love shakespeare, hamlet, king lear, henry V, macbeth everything I have read of his is fascinating. I pityeth thy fool who hath dissiculty reading him.

    Faulkner on the other hand is a cryptic bastard to try and read.

    I had to write 4 pages of pure,utter ****e for my Christmas essay on Hamlet yesterday.

    I have to say though,why anyone would read Shakespeare is beyond me.
    I mean why read Macbeth when you could be reading Marion Keyes.

    Marian keyes never wrote anything like this;

    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition;
    And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
    Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    I could understand his plays but the fact that I had to stop every now and then in order to re-read parts just to understand it means I found all his work impossible to enjoy

    To be honest, I think the plays should be seen before being read if you want to enjoy them. They were written to be performed, not studied.

    What amazes me about him is that everything I need to know as an actor is in the text. I worked with the first folio last year and it's all there! It's incredible!
    After working with scripts like that, you never want to work with anything else.
    The guy was a genius.

    Why! all delights are vain, but that most vain
    Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain:
    As, painfully to pore upon a book
    To seek the light of truth, while truth the while
    Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
    Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile;
    So ere you find where light in darkness lies,
    Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.

    Course I can.

    My main gripe with Shakespearian plays is that he was from the Midderlunnns.. he most likely had a Brummy accent instead of the toff the pillocks now speak with. Talk normally! Use his words but don't say it like you've got a plum up your arse.

    Anyway, yeah, easy to understand

    There is nothing normal about the brummy accent.

    Studied R&J for JC (remember very little but I enjoyed it) and Macbeth for the LC, which I loved.

    I like randomly bursting out with "Stars, hide your fires! every now and then.

    Kent totally bitchslapping Oswald in King Lear is pretty sweet too:
    Oswald: Why dost thou use me thus? I know thee not.

    Kent: Fellow, I know thee.

    Oswald: What dost thou know me for?

    Kent: A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.

    LOL PWNED
