« I thank the company for supporting me through what has sometimes been an emotionally challenging rehearsal period. I tell them throughout the process, Tony has been on my shoulder, like a bad prosthetic hump, not letting me get away with anything, pushing me to see things freshly, to look harder, explore deeper, fail better.

That, for me, is his legacy. To demand the best. We are the Royale Shakespeare Company after all.

And I tell them, as we step together into the hall of mirrors that is any press night, that whatever the critics may say, I am very proud of what we all achieved together.

Later, as the performance ends, and with my sister Jo, as always by my side on press night, I choke back a tear as Arthur runs on for his bow, and the audience cheer and as one, rise to their feet. »

A friend of mine, in a dressing room in 2013, showed me a video of spoken word artist Kate Tempest reading her poem ‘My Shakespeare’.  I liked it very much, and I’ve posted it just before this post.  

Kate Tempest seems to bug a lot of people.  Those people are, in the main, two things: a) not from London and b) of a certain age.  People who fall into these two categories often seem genuinely bothered by people who do not.  There are exceptions to this, of course.  My girlfriend is a little younger than me and does not like Kate Tempest because of the rhyme scheme in the piece she saw.  My mother is from New York, is nearly sixty, and likes Kate Tempest.  In the main, however, a lot of people form an opinion based on the presentation of something and then stop there.  It’s like snails - when you order snails at a restaurant, the waiter brings you a plate of Cthulhu’s own spawn, but you know they are delicious and you eat them.  It’s okay to have an opinion about the way something is put forth, the way it is presented to the world.  It’s not okay, and you are doing yourself a disservice, to allow that opinion to stop you getting to the good stuff.  If you’re reading this and wondering ‘Hang on, isn’t he just explaining not to judge a book by its cover?’ you are correct, that’s exactly what I’m doing.  

Incidentally, don’t be put off by the fact that the video thumbnail makes it look like she’s on a reality show.  She’s not.

Who wants me to make a small spooky hat to put Shakespeare (my lizard, if you didn't know) in? He's ready for spoops.

Your gecko is named Shakespeare.. My snake is named Shakespeare.. They must be buddies

It is a requirement, the herpatile playwrites should write a play together. It’ll be the best thing since sliced bread.
