Drink - it provokes the desire but it takes away the performance

I still have dreams about studying Othello for the lc. 20 fecking years ago now. It's almost a different language, very difficult to follow.

Bottom, from A Midsummer's Night's Dream.

I did Romeo and Juliet for the Inter cert, the lesson there was patience would have paid off there in the end.
Then King Lear for the Leaving Cert, the lesson there was some people tell you what you want to hear, and the people who really love you will tell you the truth.

I've never read Shakespeare for fun, but I do appreciate it, and I've seen maybe ten of them performed. It's some of the oldest stuff in English that's remotely legible to a non-specialist. The stories are timeless, the wordplay clever, and the meter gives well-acted versions of it a unique sound.

Has anyone seen the Canadian tv show Slings and Arrows? Or Ben Elton's Upstart Crow, which is on netflix? Funny shows, both, especially if you've at least a passing familiarity with the more popular plays.
