Titus Andronicus is amazing
Thanks for this
Calm down JK Rowling (has this already been done? CBA to find out)
Oh fuck, it’s Yorick, I knew him, Horatio, an absolute boy and all time dog… and now reduced to a skelebum.
Whiny little bitch is one of Hamlet’s many fascinating facets.
It’s quite enjoyable but ultimately the teenage goth phase of Shakespeare’s output.
Yup. Particularly if you go to a staging that really goes for the splatter
Also not sure why Coriolanus is in the poor tier - that is a legit great play. Each to their own obvs…
Coriolanus is boring.
YOUR FACE IS BORING
And therein lies the rub and my cover is blown
Massive fan. I’ve even got a Shakespeare fridge magnet.
This is not correct. I’ve checked.
The tale of a simple (albeit bloodthirsty) man, used as a pawn by corrupt and cynical politicians, doomed by the ambitions of others…it’s awesome and my favourite of the lot!
Look, I didn’t want to have to sink to this, but there’s a reason that “anus” is in the title, and that is because it is arse.
OH BOLLOCKS TO YOU
AFAIK the only Middleton bits are the extra witch scenes (e.g. any bit with Hecate in) which were added later because when they first revived the scottish play they thought they needed more witchey content and got Middleton to provide some. He certainly collaborated on some of the later history plays but, Hecate aside, Macbeth is all the big man’s own I believe.
Hamlet>Macbeth>Lear>Othello>R+J>The King of Limbs
My favourite song with a Shakespeare connection:
Songs with titles that are phrases Shakespeare made up:
Heart of Gold (Henry V)
Cruel To Be Kind (Hamlet) - YouTube has just reminded that this was covered on the 10 Things I Hate About You soundtrack, appropriately.
load of rubbish, I could have wrote it all in my sleep
Load of old shite isn’t it?
