Anyone who is a pretentious fuck about Shakespeare, of all things, is a dumbass. Like what you like, OP.

Yes, yes there are. It saddens me.

Shakespeare is the master of knob and titty jokes, as well as fancy dancy words. That's why I love him.

Going to see Roger Allam in the Tempest tomorrow. I've got high hopes and I just had to tell someone!

I don't hate Shakespeare. Far from it! Just a bit irritated with people who idolize him.

:o Oh? Where?

They are showing a film of a live performance at the Globe last year. I saw it live - wonderful!

Oh wow. That sounds super coolio.

I saw Allam as Prospero last year at the Globe, and he absolutely killed it.

Hands down one of my favourite Shakespeare performances, and I've watched a shitload of Shakespeare plays. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!

True, but oh my gosh being pretentious about Shakespeare is one of the worst ones.

What utter blasphemy! :D

Like what you like, anon.

For the record, I love Shakespeare comedies, but am not in the slightest fussed by his tragedies or histories. I'm pretty sure that makes me the lowest of the low in a Shakpearean purist's books.

Don't care thought. ;)

Never found any of the "comedies" all that funny myself.

Oh, I agree, great comedian, overrated tragedies

Don't get me wrong, I love The History of Julius Caesar--and I kind of like The Tragedy of Macbeth, but that's sort of trippy, too--but Shakes is a comedian first to me.

And The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is an amazing case of something that feels like it could have been a comedy with some different twists, and almost was a comedy, but had all this OMG DOOM foreshadowing laden in to justify the leads dying in the last act.

But when you have this whole industry of pretentious scholars insisting Shakespeare's tragedies are not only his masterworks, but the masterworks of the English language--yeah, I can't resist tweaking those snobs by saying, "But have you ever seen Comedy of Errors performed by a circus troupe? It's awesome." Because of course some of them hate the comedies as "immature."

(And then there was that book that declaimed that Shakespeare was the very foundation of Civilization, and the invention of the modern human mind. Ugh! Like it wasn't half localizations of Plutarch and updates of other playwrights' stories.)

Shakespeare is anything but highbrow no matter what anyone says.

I love Cirque too, OP.
