Re: What's your side interest you love a chance to talk about?

*High fives* for Shakespeare geekery! I am not an English major, I'm a theatre major (which is how I come by my historical costume knowledge) and am extremely knowledgeable on Shakespeare and other Elizabethan/Jacobean playwrights. And the conventions of the theatre of that period, which is something some people who approach the material from strictly an "English literature" perspective might be lacking, but to me is utter vital to the understanding and experience of his plays.

Are you the anon I bitched about Anti-Stratfordians with once? Good times, good times.

I might be?? Probably, I don't remember specifically but OH BOY do anti-stratfordians piss me off.

And you definitely bring up an interesting point, I don't have any practical theatre skills (I really wish I did honestly but the fact that I can't act and am very afraid of heights kept me from pursuing any education in theatre ever) so mostly I approach it from a literature perspective, but I've also done a bit of research on historical staging and it definitely brings an interesting layer to the history of the play, as does the general history of the time period effecting what was written

Yeah, I only took 3 classes in my college's English department and 2 of them were all about looking at Shakespeare as just a text and not a text to be performed in any way! The third one was Jacobean tragedy (non-Shakespeare) and it was fucking awesome and the prof did talk a lot about theatre conventions (like the parts with physical comedy in Arden of Faversham) and the English majors there were all, "lolwhut? this is important?" It was probably only cos the prof has a theatre background and is a dramaturg, which is what I am now. He was young and cute too, I'da flirted with him that after the class if I had the nerve.

One of my favorite examples of discussing how important it is to consider live performance is The Merchant of Venice. Shylock's first line in the play is, "Three thousand ducats, well." And if you're just dealing with a text, then yeah it's notable that his first line is about money. But say it aloud, slowly. It becomes this sinister low hissing sound, and that's the audience's first impression of Shylock. And that informs how they're primed to react to him for the rest of the play.

I've only taken one class on Shakespeare (where I primarily tricked a bunch of English majors into thinking I was one of them) and we talked a lot about staging - some historical and some hypothetical (ie a lot of "so if you were a director how would you stage this scene") and I love discussing that kinda stuff, idk why people don't do it more? Though I'm also in a weird place where I don't get to SEE a lot of performances so I'm usually relying heavily on my imagination for stagings.
