Declaim!  Recite sonnets!  Go into work in doublet and hose!  Only speak in original pronunciation and make people really confused!  Exit rooms pursued by a bear!  (tie a teddy bear to your ankle)

Oh go on, you know you want to.

Romeo and Juliet is not a love story it’s a cautionary tale about how everything would be better if you would just chill the fuck out

‘Everything would be better if you would just chill the fuck out’ - every play ever written by Shakespeare

“Yo, Hamlet. Chill the fuck out about your dad.”

“Yo, King Lear. Chill the fuck out about your daughters.”

“Yo, Othello. Chill the fuck out about your wife.”

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spirit
To his full height! On, on, you noblest English!
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof;
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought,
And sheath’d their swords for lack of argument.
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeomen,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry! England and Saint George!"

• I will never be dry or warm ever again. 
• Globe to Globe is fantastic. I was charmed by Pericles (Greek), loved the energy of Troilus & Cressida (Maori) and was thoroughly entertained by Twelfth Night (Hindi).
• Travelling Light is actually better on a second viewing, but I still have issues with it. Lauren O’Neill and Damien Molony act rings around Antony Sher (which is not what should be happening in that scenario), and the text. 
• The Conquest of the South Pole is brilliant, the more I think about it the more I love it. Sam Crane climbing onto a table has never been more arousing and heartbreaking tbh. Andrew Gower is the master of meringue eating and I’ve never felt more exhilarated and devastated by people counting to 179 and almost a half. 
• All I want from the next series of Being Human is a long flashback episode with young Leo (actor’s name?) because I think Hal’s prequel is my favourite thing of all of season 4. 
• Noises Off is funny, the second act even moreso because I’ve SMed shows that have gone like that but not as funny as I think everyone else thinks it is, I’m really not a huge Farce fan I think; however Lucy Briggs-Owen is basically my favourite thing in the world at the moment 
• NT Archive is incredible, the prompt script for Stuff Happens was actually easy to follow which is comforting. I’m not SMing all wrong!
