long as theres no doths and leiges and forsooths in it
The reason Ive got the grumps with ol’shaky is because I basically dropped out off college because of him.
I was desparate to get into acting. I chose English A level, Theatre Studies A level and Theatre Foundation (A level equivalent).
Shaky sneaked into all of them, with not only one play but two, so all in all I was studying 6 plays at once. Far too much for a novice.
The main ones were The Tempest, Measure for Measure and King Lear.
My drama teacher advised us to get out and SEE as much as we can as it is the only way to understand and she was right.
We attended the Globe, met the director of the royal shaky co, and watched King Lear and I fell in love with it because for the first time I actually understood it!
Seeing it acted and read how it should be does clarify it. But I could never afford to go all the time, so completely lost all interest, dropped out after a year and got my job, and tbh, I dont really regret it, as I believe in fate.
It didnt help that one of the girls doing all three of the same subjects couldnt “read” a play to save her life, her Essex accent would never shift and she sounded like Jade goody on one monotonous note all the way through,bless her x
Truth is Truth! To the end of reckoning.
Measure for Measure
“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”
Hamlet quote (Act II, Sc. II).
Shakespeare in love – trailer
“The miserable have no other medicine,
But only hope.”
Measure for Measure. ACT III Scene 1.” The sense of death is most in apprehension;
And the poor beetle, that we tread upon,
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.”
Measure for Measure. ACT III Scene 1.“Ay, but to die, and go we know not where;
To lie in cold obstruction and to rot;
This sensible warm motion to become
A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit
To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside
In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice;”
Measure for Measure. ACT III Scene 1.“The weariest and most loathed worldly life
That age, ache, penury, and imprisonment
Can lay on nature, is a paradise
To what we fear of death.”

And He that doth the ravens feed,
Yea, providently caters for the sparrow,
Be comfort to my age!”
As You Like It. ACT II Scene 3.“I must have liberty
Withal, as large a charter as the wind,
To blow on whom I please.
As You Like It. ACT II Scene 7.“Blow, blow, thou winter wind!
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude.”
As You Like It. ACT II Scene 7.Down on your knees,
And thank Heaven, fasting, for a good man’s love.”
As You Like It. ACT III Scene 5.“He is the half part of a blessed man,
Left to be finished by such as she;
And she a fair divided excellence,
Whose fulness of perfection lies in him.”
King John. ACT II Scene 1.“I will instruct my sorrows to be proud;
For grief is proud, and makes his owner stoop.”
King John. ACT III Scene 1.“To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.”
King John. ACT IV Scene 2.
