The Shakespeare thread

[DanaC]

Last month was the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. So, there's lots of commemorative stuffs going on this year. I've been intending to start a thread for ages, but somehow haven't.

So - here is a thread for all things Shakespeare.

First off - a really fascinating talk. This guy rocks. He really opens it up and makes sense of the bard. He's one of the people behind the OP (original pronunication) performances at the Globe. Fabulous actor, and a really great speaker and academic. Accessible and funny. Changed my understanding completely.
Guy's a fucking genius. And the two actors he has workshopping scenes do a great job. The way it all comes together is so organic it's gorgeous.
