YO VLADDY NAB DAWG, YOU'RE AN OLD COSSACK CUNT,
YOUR STUTTERING IS SO ANNOYING, YOUR FACE I JUST WANT TO PUNT.
AS I ALWAYS SAY, NIGGA, TO BE OR NOT TO BE,
BUT FUCK THAT SHIT, MUTHAFUCKA, I'LL PUT YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERY,
I MEAN, I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS BAD, BUT AT YOURS I JUST SCOFF,
YOUR SPEND ALL DAY IN YO BASEMENT STUDYING MOTHS.

YO, WHERE'S MY NIGGA VLADDY NAB DAWG?

"Ben Johnson, English Renaissance dramatist and poet said: 'He (Shakespeare) was not of an age, but for all time.'

Taking this quote as a starting point, focus on the question whether or not Shakespeare and his works are still relevant and worth spending time on in the 21st century."

Let's see you solve this, /lit/. Why is Shakespeare so important today?

When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur’d like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,—and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

>I need help with Macbeth, anybody ever write one before?
Sounds familiar, I believe I wrote a Macbeth once.

Whoops, left my name in

Guess there's a bit of a conflict of interest there

I'm a big fan of Gregory Doran's stuff. His 'Macbeth' was intensely acted although weirdly paced (and not taking proper advantage of its set), but Nerd Hamlet with David Tennant and Patrick Steward was badass.

Julie Taymor's 'Titus' is also well good.

Jesus, you guys are like the people who used to keep screaming "TO BE OR NOT TO BE" at my shows while Polonius is still giving everyone advice

Don't let an old man with a long beard philosophizing and proclaiming deceive you; he's a sexist.
