Shakespeare anyone?

[TheDrsDocMartens]

BBC 2 now.

Lots of easy "as you like it" to start.
I might not last through the tragedies.

I didn't like Juliet

I just turned over, beautiful ballet.

Watching on catch up. What's with the singers and orchestra not being together?

The ballet was gorgeous. It fascinates me when they lift, like a person weighs nothing.

I'm watching - we've done R and J balconies and onto as you like it.
Not sure I love DT and CT presenting.

Oh I love Judi Dench.

Is she very small or is he very tall?

I think she's quite titchy

AM & JD were brilliant, saw John Lithgow years ago in that part, he was excellent. Saw him in the pub after it too!

She's 5'1''

Really enjoying it!

We're really not enjoying it here
And had such hopes for a fab evening.
Hoping it'll get stronger

Yeah it's not much FUN.
I did Shakespeare at uni so was looking forward to a bit of a reunion with it all. Loved horrible histories though.

It's quite a nice mix of various arts. I am not a natural lover of any of this, I appreciate small tasters. I struggled watching a whole ballet too long and watching R&J at the Globe hard seating this is about right for me.

Watched the cbeebies production of A Midsummers Nights Dream this morning - was fab and just made Dame Judi's bit much much funnier. This is a bit harder work but will watch on iplayer with the DC and skip the boring bits.

Liked that bit. Camilla looks like a good sport.

It's pretty patchy but some good bits here and there.

Nice to have something a bit different on TV anyway.

We think it's a bit meh. DT and CT are dreadful, particularly CT.

The music/singing is better than the acted parts, feels less clunky. You always have to get your 'ear in' for Shakespeare and this doesn't give you a chance to.

Quite enjoying this dance number.

Ballet and jazz fusion.

More acting please....

Yes please stop the singing...

The othello ballet/jazz piece was excellent.

Thank god I didn't go to bed it's just got good 😀
