my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

another thing about setting hamlet at christmas is that it reflects the beautiful human experience of having a long holiday stay at your parents’ house that makes you feel like you are going insane

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

Nudity figured into my 1972 Roman season [at RSC] too. In Coriolanus, I was cast as Tullus Aufidius, the titular general's nemesis-turned-ally-turned killer. The battle scenes found me and my army of Volscians wearing very brief skirts of a length you might associate with NFL cheerleaders. There is also a scene in which Coriolanus shows up unexpectedly at Aufidius' home. Reviewing the script, I picked up on an erotic charge to their interactions. I asked our costume designer if I could wear nothing but jewelry and a skirt - ankle-length but diaphanous, of the lightest silk. This outfit produced the desired result: Circling my frenemy Coriolanus, played by Ian Hogg, I was no longer a warrior but a feminine, graceful, and, quite possibly, horny Audifius. Finding this double life in the role became the most interesting part of playing the character, and I am grateful to Trevor Nunn for letting me go there.
