The good, the bard and the ugly
In the Guardian, a two-sided follow-up to yesterday’s announcment of the RSC’s staging all of Shakespeare’s works. Check out this summary of the good (the “simple pleasure of watching his plays,” “people are discovering a new relevance in his work”) and the ugly (box-office motivations, “Bardmart” “will not produce any radically new ideas about Shakespeare’s achievement”) vis-à-vis the bard. The good is rather in line with Handcart’s mission, the ugly rather in line with why we haven’t put on Shakespeare yet and rather in line also with why we will.
