I think with Shakespeare you can be required to do absolutely anything at the turn of a sixpence - suddenly you go into a battle, suddenly you utter something passionate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can find more traditional Shakespeare than we do. But what we want to bring to these works is energy, passion, freshness.
If you got what it takes, you'll make it. If you don't, Shakespeare couldn't help you.
Anything one can do to provoke and inspire an interest in the works of Shakespeare in a young audience is fair game. Anything.
First of all, Shakespeare is about pleasure and interest. He was from the first moment he actually wrote something for the stage, and he remains so.
Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you don't need to do anything to Shakespeare.
I think you need brains to do any Shakespeare with any authority. I could do Shakespeare, but not with any authority.
Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.
I've never really had a desire to do Shakespeare. For me, it's just too many lines.
I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.
The reason there's no modern-day Shakespeare is because he didn't have anything to do except sit in a room with a candle and think.
