2. Has the reading of a Shakespeare play ever brought you to tears? What scene was it and where were you when it happened?
3. Are there any people that have played a significant role in your Shakespeare journey?
4. Do you have a favourite book or film about Shakespeare?
5. Which character in Shakespeare most resembles you and in what ways?
6. Which play would you most like to see performed in a theatre and why?
7. What actor, throughout history, would you most like to have seen play Hamlet while in his prime?
8. Deliver your favourite speech or soliloquy from a Shakespeare play.
9. Do any of Shakespeare's plays intimidate you? If yes, what play and why?
10. What tips would you give to intimidated readers coming to Shakespeare for the first time?
11. Which is your favourite Shakespeare play and why?

So wonderful to think of watching other people do this tag last year and it got you started about thinking of your own channel! Thank you! 💛🎭
You’re a good big brother. I don’t know what we were reading in high school (seriously, absolutely no recollection), but I know it wasn’t Shakespeare. I’ll be reading my first soon (Pat suggested A Midsummer Night’s Dream). Appreciate the advice and tips, especially “don’t feel like you have to get everything the first time through.”
MND is a good first play. So is Romeo and Juliet.
I am very sorry about the loss of your sister, Laura. I am also sorry she didn't get to see the production of the play she was directing. Thank you for sharing stories about her here. I really enjoyed your responses to all of these prompts, James. I cannot imagine an English teacher not liking you. I think you must be exaggerating. I am also very impressed that you have read all of the plays and all of the poetry. This is a goal of mine as well. We share Hamlet as a favorite play. Well done, James. Thank you...
Thanks for watching and for the tag, Pat. I assure you, my tenth grade English teacher did not like me. I also don't blame her--tenth-grade me could be a real pretentious, absurdist pain.
@@JamesRuchala awww…I would have liked you if you showed up in my 10th grade English class.
1. Thanks for the tag. 2. Do you mind if I leave this tag until I have read more, only read one so far (the shame!). 3. And most importantly, obviously, love and best wishes to you, your family, and the memory of your sister. So easy to say the wrong thing, but, I would like to say, nicely done sir.
Of course you're free to do the tag (or not) whenever you feel up to it. I was thinking of the video you did recently about your "internal voice" keeping you from enjoying it at first.
And thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.
Great learning more about you, James. Such a sad story w Laura. Sounds like a very cool and interesting person. That Burgess Shakespeare looks superb! I'd like to read that (I read John Berryman's Shakespeare book). You'd make a great Jacques, James 🎭
Thanks for watching. Laura was a really interesting and cool person. Maybe I have a future career trodding the boards.
This was a wonderful video, and thanks for tagging me. I haven't read much Shakespeare, but I'll give it a try
Thanks for watching. I hope you'll give it a try.
A great version of this tag. Thanks for the tag!
Thanks for watching!
Oh dear, another tag that will require some actual prep. I'd best get off my behind! Great video and thanks of the tag, even if it takes me a while ...
Thanks for watching Troy. I'll be glad to hear your replies when you get to it, as you're one of the few actual playwrights that I follow.
There is a movie "Ran" which is based on King Lear and set in feudal Japan - well done and visually stunning That is probably one of my favorite related movies although I have enjoyed the interpretations of The Tempest movies too
I saw Ran many years ago and I liked it. The samurai-era battle scenes were really impressive. Kurosawa also made a Macbeth adaptation called "Throne of Blood" that was quite good.
So sorry to hear about your sister, what loss - sorry. I adore Tom Stoppard's work, including his film "Shakespeare in Love' (so much fun), he is quite unforgettable. I enjoy all the Kenneth Branagh film versions of Shakespeare (& Agatha Christie for that matter), these are so 'over-done' & fun - exultant! Thanks for another engaging & enjoyable video (but really sorry for your sister, tragic loss).
Thanks for your kind words. Have you seen the weird musical version of "Love's Labors Lost"? That might have been too fun for me, but KB's Othello is good and I watched part of his Hamlet and liked it.
@@JamesRuchala: No, have never seen 'Love's Labor's Lost', is that Branagh as well? Can't believe I've never come across it.
Branagh plays one of the four male leads, but not the Duke (or prince or whatever). It has several musical numbers in the style of the old 1930s and 1940s Hollywood musicals. They shortened the play by removing about half the text. I think LLL is not the most interesting of Shakespeare's plays, so I wasn't bothered to watch it in a "brisker" --if silly-- version.
@@JamesRuchala: will search it out. I'm not familiar with that play or its film version. More joy to explore.
Sorry James, but I got distracted. Is that Berlin on your bookshelf by Jason Lutes? I was buying the comic and when that collected edition was released got it. Have you read it? It's excellent. Oh, yes, thanks for the tag, but...;)
haha. I know. It is Berlin by Jason Lutes. I've had it for a few years but not started it yet. It's a bit daunting, but if you recommend it, I'll give it a shot soon.
@@JamesRuchala Berlin I think will read fast. It's about he rise of fascism in Germany with the conflicting communist factions described too. I may revisit it later this year.
As for William, my introduction to him was in middle school with the Romeo and Juliet. I liked a girl in the class. I thought it was a secret. But when the teacher asked me to be Romeo and she to be Juliet in a romantic reading I knew the secret was out! I never heard the end of it after class. The poor girl, who I learned later knew I liked her, was rightfully embarrassed after I poured my soul through Romeo.
That story is almost sweet. Maybe the teacher was setting you up.
