Thanks for reposting. Fun listening to Master Marsters’ lectures on the Bard. For a moment I thought my dementia was kicking in when he confused the surnames of our beloved young couple. Whew. Memory is still serving! 🙃
What a fascinating teacher in theater James would be! I admire him for ALL his distinct talents and yes I fangirl for him sooooo much! 🥰 But from a serious point of view, if I were a student interested in really learning the craft, I would so enroll in his class! Just sayin' 😉
The mistake about last names is fairly huge, but I love he didn't cut that away and kept it, to be true to us to the bone. You make a mistake, it's not deniable, you aknoledge it, you deserve even more respect for doing it. About guns and how would Shakespeare write his play nowadays, I think Baz Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet absolutely nailed it. Even with the soundtrack. No one could beat Zeffirelli's film, but Luhrman is a visionary.
Can I ask, for later in the series, how you feel about Romeo. I love the homosexual interpretation that was explored in the Luhrmann version. I studied it at university and the scholars looked at the vulgarity of his language when he’s talking about sex - body parts are a big theme across the play. I’ve heard you talk about ‘The sandbox’ and I’d love to know how you’d play mercutio.
Not Muppets pandemonium. Right. Columbine pandemonium. In Div School we called all that contextual setting sitz en laben. Totally right thinking to vivify these texts. Thank you.

He teaches this so much better than my high school English teacher.

This is so awesome! Love digging into this with you!
Loving this, Romeo and Juliet is my favorite play from Shakespeare
Thanks for this great video! However I will add that Tybalt is a capulet, not a montage
He confuses the Capulets and Montagues.
Juliet Capulet:Tybalt
Romeo Montague: Benvolio, Mercutio
He corrects himself

Sorry. I meant Mercutio. The homosexual reading of mercutio.
