Comment on Part One of The Tragedy of Arthur, a Review by Mark

This guy is having a joke right.
The play was not even close to being as good as shakespeares very worst plays. It was written as a semi parody.

There goes Francis Boyles credability….

Seems like “Much Ado” provides a lot of inspiration: our oldest dog’s name is Hero and it suits her admirably.

Those darned sword thieves could be a bunch of dull blades themselves (mentally) if they thought that was a good idea. I hope they are caught.

I’d like to point out that I have two Shakespearean kitties (we called them Much Ado About Kittens when we first got them; actually named their online photo album that): Beatrice and Benedick (often called Bea and Ben). They fight and squabble but still love each other.

How many of us have Shakespeare jewelry and shirts, by the way. I can’t be the only one with multiple Shakespeare themed items. I have about 6 t-shirts, 4 pins, 2 rings and 1 necklace that are connected to Shakespeare. That doesn’t count the pillows, thimbles, mint tins, magnets, and other items in the house.

Great analysis! This is probably in my top 2 Hamlet productions I’ve seen on DVD. Branagh’s getting the slightest edge if only because of the beauty of it. Having said that, I think I like Plummer, Caine and Shaw more than any I’ve seen in their respective roles. Forgive me for not knowing this, but which are your other two favorites?

An excellent point, James. The reason is that the Multimedia team wish to give our readers our frank assessments of what is out there in Shakesphere, perhaps my opinion or Tue’s (or any of our contributors) might lead to a different understanding of the work.

And part of it is ego.

Branagh’s “Hamlet” appeared around 1996; so I’m wondering why the critical analysis at this point in time?
