here's where I will store my April 2024 Dew Drop-In poems |
April 23—Shakespeare Seeing Shakespeare plays My best friend From first grade Became an actor. Ended up doing Mostly Shakespearean dramas A few minor movie and TV roles And commercials But he was typecast As a Shakespeare guy And he was fine With that. One of the lucky one percent Of actors who made a living Doing only acting. And now he is mostly retired Actor Being A Shakespearian actor Is hard work physically And mentally. Just too hard to keep going As we get near and past 70. Through him I became a Shakespeare fan I have, over the years Read all of the plays. And seen most of the plays Live, on TV, and in movies And in Oregon We go to the Ashland The Shakespeare Festival Once a year. My favorites are the historical dramas, “Julius Caesar” is my all-time favorite Followed by “Romeo and Juliet” “Macbeth,” and “Hamlet” “As You Like It,” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. I prefer the classical versions I do not like most modern interpretations Particularly when they try to modernize The langauge. But I think that is a losing battle, Eventually Shakespearian English Will become too hard To follow for most folks. |
