Lord have mercy on you and those histories...
ReplyDeleteSo, you didn't take long to get your feet wet before swimming into the histories, after all.
ReplyDeleteI think the histories are so under rated. Richard III and Henry V are brilliant although I think poor Richard was much maligned. I have never read Henry VI...I am actually curious. Did not get a copy of the poem in time to read these first lines but it is funny that Shakespeare's immortality rests in his plays not his poems speaking from an historical standpoint. The Blackfriars community rejected the Burbarge's application for a theatre because a playhouse brought vice into the neighborhood! Remember, however, that is was his friends that assembled Shakespeare's First Folio, after his death.
ReplyDeleteI'm dreading the Histories for my S3R Project ;_;
ReplyDeleteMacBeth already threw me off a bit by having a SCENE EIGHT ;_; Currently scripting Lear, and...yeah, it's got quite a few scenes for every act.
