Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: DMorgan on April 22, 2016, 01:02:02 PM 5, but four of them were in school (Only did Englsih up to GSCE) - Macbeth, Midsummer Nights Dream, Twelfth Night and The Tempest
Saw the Benedict Cumberbatch version of Hamlet last year, really enjoyed it Never seen or read Romeo and Juliet Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: celtic on April 22, 2016, 01:02:32 PM Saw the title and thought oh no, not another celebrity dead.
Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: Rexas on April 22, 2016, 01:34:44 PM You'll all have seen way more than you think, they stories are re-done like everywhere :p
Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: Graham C on April 22, 2016, 01:44:59 PM We never did any Shakespeare at school.
My daughter has just been invited by her school to part of the Shakespeare live recording at the BBC in Birmingham on Monday. Hopefully some will stick with her. Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: Tal on April 22, 2016, 02:30:06 PM 15, of which the two I've seen but not read are Coriolanus and Love's Labour's Lost.
Anyone who has seen The Lion King has seen Hamlet. Anyone who has seen Kiss Me Kate has seen The Taming of the Shrew. Anyone who has seen West Side Story has seen Romeo and Juliet. Lots of these things about. Marlowe was a more intellectual playwright and Johnson was a better wit/satirist. Shakespeare was the all-rounder. Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: Doobs on April 22, 2016, 03:02:00 PM Can we do Enid Blyton or Peppa Pig?
Was hoping Tal was a secret 1. Where is posh Alex? Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: Rexas on April 22, 2016, 03:19:53 PM Anyone who has watched blackadder will have seen a few, probably most famously twelfth night. I would say that i feel Shakespeare is done a huge disservice by the education system, and would encourage anyone to go to the globe and see one. Although fork out the extra for seats, it can be a long time standing up :p

Have a youtube clip :) Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: POWWWWWWWW on April 22, 2016, 04:07:38 PM I've seen Big Business, does that count?
Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: arbboy on April 22, 2016, 04:14:04 PM Big fat zero for me. Hated English at school.
Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: The Camel on April 22, 2016, 04:19:19 PM 20.
I would have made myself big odds against to outscore Tal. Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: doubleup on April 22, 2016, 04:32:25 PM 20. I would have made myself big odds against to outscore Tal. You know that backing a horse named after the play doesn't count? ;) Title: Re: Shakespeare Post by: MintTrav on April 22, 2016, 07:29:25 PM Just the two they made us do at school, Julius Caesar and King Lear. Wouldn't willingly subject myself to that stuff. As irrelevant as the five years Latin they also made me do.
