We just posted a video highlighting the words Shakespeare invented. Like in The Comedy of Errors, Act 5 Scene 1, when HURRY appears for the first time! Please watch on our channel when you have a moment. Thank you!

Just finished the BBC Comedy of Errors. It was HILARIOUS! It was a cross between Taming of the Shrew and The Three Stooges. Michael Kitchen was brilliant as Antipholus. Both of them.
It was laugh out loud funny. Do you remember the Three Stooges? No, of course you don't *remember* them, but, you know, reruns. Antipholus does the identical maneuvers that Moe did to the other two Stooges- eye gouging, nose pinching, that sort of stuff. Kitchen's facial expressions were exquisite. But Shakespeare didn't mean for his plays to be read, did he? You can get BBC's complete plays on Brit Box. I watched The Hollow Crown series for the Henriad plays, but I didn't care for some of their interpretations. Patrick Stewart was excellent as John of Gaunt. But do yourself a favor and watch the BBC CoE. And AYLI, too. You'd love the Forest of Arden.
Just read the play and came to TH-cam out of curiosity for the subtle references and your video had just what I was looking for. Loved it :) I agree the play was laugh out loud funny but there were also parts of body shaming humor as well as slavery+normalizing beating slaves. Was all this a satire as well or was this just so normal for Elizabethan England that people wouldn't care?
Glad it was helpful! This is a play that’s more up for debate than many of Shakespeare’s others. He does use physical comedy/violence in this way in his earlier comedies, mostly without moral commentary, though he also always leaves enough open for interpretation that one may see it as a critique. He also tends to expose moral shortcomings of his heroes and make his villains complex, then leave it to the audience to figure out what to do with it. It was also pretty common at the time, though he often takes the common and puts a thoughtful spin on. Not sure that’s true of the fat jokes and physical comedy here though.
@@Nancenotes Thanks for your response. Look forward to reading more plays in the coming days and coming back to your videos :) I had read Merchant of Venice, As you like it and Macbeth back in high school and loved the magic that literature teachers would bring with references and symbolisms beneath the text. I was really missing that after my reading today and you more than made up for it. 🌼
...there is this rumour that the Genius "Shakespear" spent many winters in Venice (Las Vegas back then!) because of all the "free" stuff between humans going on there ( but good job on Faust by the way...and maybe a bit on the "The magic Mountain" would be seasonable...
