If you can read, then you can recite Shakespeare. But that's not acting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
Quite often in acting, you have to play a certain part; you cannot speak as much as you want to speak.
Even Shakespeare gives you a scene off.
Shakespeare is the one who gets re-interpreted most frequently.
Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.
Shakespeare was a dramatist of note who lived by writing things to quote.
Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you don't need to do anything to Shakespeare.
If I'm serious, yes, I'd like to have done what Shakespeare did... to act and write. You learn so much from acting. One of our great writers, Alan Bennett, does both supremely well. When I write a story, I tend to speak it aloud as I'm writing it.
Acting doesn't bring anything to a text. On the contrary, it detracts from it.
