Cancer and degeneracy.

Plays are for the stage, period. Reading a play is like reading a movie script, it doesn't compare to the real thing at all.

That's what I thought, It's just that I have no-one to go with. I don't mix in those circles. I live near the Globe too

Screenplay shakespeare is an abomination.

how to people take plays seriously? granted, i've never been to a broadway level play, but the acting is always so excessively dramatic that, even if the style is intentional, i can't take it seriously and become completely distracted by how shit and obnoxious the actors are

I think the idea of adapting Shakespeare to text messages could have had potential if it had been done well and the necessary liberties had been taken to modernize whatever needed to be. But this just seems silly and looks to be aimed to kids who need to read say Romeo and Juliet for school and do not want to. It doesn't seem to have any merit on its own right, or be something that anyone would read except to "cheat" on a book report or something.

This is actually the best way to work out if an actor is good. If you can't tell they're acting, they're fucking great

on stage, at the Globe Theatre in Early Modern English

anything else - fuck off
