I'm off to see Hamlet at Stratford this afternoon. Is there anything I need to know?

I had MY FIRST SEX in a Hamlet play. It was outdoors and I thought it was really funny because plays reach a 'climax' and have FALLING ACTION as well, I learned this in high school and nothing will ever take that away from me.

How come even fond memories make you angry?

A Note on Bawdy Elizabethan Humour
or, Who Put Those Pelvic Thrusts in My Shakespeare?

People who associate Shakespeare only with beautiful poetry and sublime emotions are sometimes shocked to see actors using coarse or suggestive gestures to impart rude meanings to his lines. Surely Shakespeare never intended his words to be taken that way?

Well, actually, yes he did. Shakespeare wrote about the full spectrum of human experience, and his plays are full of bawdy puns and wordplays, some of them startlingly explicit. But the passage of years has made many of those allusions obscure to modern audiences. Hence the explanatory gestures.

In general, we try to make clear everything that Shakespeare put into his plays, even those things that some people might find offensive. We don’t censor the plays, nor do we add unjustified sexual content. We simply try to shed light on what Shakespeare actually wrote.

Remember, he was trying to entertain as wide an audience as possible – not only his royal patrons but also the common people, who thronged to see his plays in the cheapest section of the theatre and who liked nothing more than a good risqué joke. And who’s to say Queen Elizabeth I didn’t enjoy a little bawdy humour just as much as her lowliest subjects?

We look forward to the new, improved Wezil -- now fortified with Culture!

I have to get busy earning my elitist title.

Maybe the property line of your house will expand as your culture points go up.

[Wezil]

I rent, but don't tell anyone. It will hurt my rep.

And you claim to be a good capitalist?

[Wezil]

I claim to be a libertarian. Capitalist is a side-line.

Btw, the play was awesome.

For those in the Chicago area - the actor that played Hamlet has an upcoming role as Macbeth at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.

Apparently MacBeth is also by the same Shakespeare guy.
