Shakespeare plays each year, and my kids and I have come to the conclusion that we are probably the groundlings...we attend the free performances and laugh most heartily at the low-brow humor. The academic crowd may say what they want about Shakespeare; I say he's funny! :)<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed Much Ado!Charlotte Mason in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745354878221696596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-26393568476592142972011-06-12T14:21:30.647+10:002011-06-12T14:21:30.647+10:00Hope the whole family enjoyed the play!Hope the whole family enjoyed the play!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343902100920059797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-84421713087697888852011-06-12T06:39:33.396+10:002011-06-12T06:39:33.396+10:00That was funny, Amy.

In Spain many won't enjoy El Quixote for the same exact reason of what Ganeida so eloquently writes about those 'experts' who have too much time and too little of substance to talk and write about... <br />Shakespeare as many other brilliant writers and thinkers, was meant to be enjoyed poetically, that means, read for the joy of listening to it, discussed in our small private and unimportant conversations that are all that really matters.<br />I have your same syndrome with Plato, Aristotle, and other philosophers since I study Philosophy and I was forced to read what some professors wrote about them.Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-30808505224929384792011-06-11T17:42:24.560+10:002011-06-11T17:42:24.560+10:00Have a wonderful time.

I can still remember when my eldest son was around 5 or 6 and a Shakespeare movie was on TV (can't remember which) and he sat glued to it , not that he understood it, but loved the sound of the words and the music from those words. He went on to enjoy Shakespeare when he had to study it at school - no harm in introducing it to children.Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-42528864672255603092011-06-11T16:38:35.573+10:002011-06-11T16:38:35.573+10:00Too be honest, Jeanne, I think I suffer from Post ...Too be honest, Jeanne, I think I suffer from Post Traumatic Shakespeare Stress Syndrome due to being 'forced' to study and dissect Shakespeare in Highschool, when I really was not cognitively prepared for it at all. I needed many more years in the classics before I tackled that stuff, I think. It ruined Shakespeare for me. I am thinking of trying to tackle it again next year, in much the same way you have described here. But I wonder, is it too late for me? Can I ever grow to love Shakespeare now?<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing how you enjoyed the performance ........ maybe, just maybe you and Jemimah may inspire me ........Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656724991654128283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-22101382404231242322011-06-11T14:03:49.276+10:002011-06-11T14:03:49.276+10:00Oh, I do hope this is a great production that make...Oh, I do hope this is a great production that makes you laugh out loud! I really enjoy this play when it is done well. Meant to be acted, meant to be enjoyed. Forget the academics who have too much time on their hands & too little to occupy their brains. lol<br /><br />And you are going to tell us all about it later, aren't you?Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-82245434477802565252011-06-11T12:58:39.574+10:002011-06-11T12:58:39.574+10:00Jeanne... that's it!
