And they put a rarely done bit in the Andrew Scott Hamlet. V interesting. Made a difference to how one sees Gertrude. Was discussed in that thread I think.

I'm not a fan of boring traditional Shakespeare anencephaly in an interview I heard Juliet Stevenson saying how lot she of the Shakespeare she liked was by foreign directors as she feel so they are more free with it and experiential and in Britain Shakespeare is very prestigious. When I see more shakspesare in the future I want to see exciting modern versions. I do still want to see the Hiddle Hamlet Andy know it will be traditional and not as good as the Icke version

I enjoyed Peter Pan Goes Wrong when it was on TV, but the framing device of its being put on by a fictional polytechnic was unforgivably snobbish and set it off on the wrong foot.

It makes me very sad that no one wants to give their definitive Pericles.

Hallelloo! 

Inspired by earlier talk of Andrew Scott's Hamlet:

Sherlock is garbage. Intellectually lazy and appallingly written, and completely misses the point and appeal of Sherlock Holmes, both as a character and wider universe. Steven Moffatt is a terrible writer and raging misogynist, incapable of writing women as anything other than whining hang-ons who only exist to be saved from themselves by the male ubermensch. Benedict Cumberbatch is an extremely limited actor and his success is baffling to me, and his version of Sherlock Holmes is basically Doctor Who in a nice jacket.

I also find Shakespeare next to impossible to follow and only see a Shakespeare play if a friend is in it.

Honestly, at this point I feel like 'Steven Moffatt is not a misogynist, and is a very good writer' is probably the unpopular opinion, I see the above sentiments expressed so frequently!

Here's another for you. Harry Potter stinks.

The books. The films. The play. The hype. The hysteria. The Olivier Awards.

Stinks.

I do like TPTGW & have seen it a lot but I don't get the insane laughter levels either. There are some lines that I never get to hear because the rest of the audience are making soooo much noise.

I don't get the Mark Rylance thing. I must add that I have never seen him live, though I did see him on the way to the shops a lot when I lived in Brixton, always in a hat and often talking about Shakespeare, but he's not an actor I enjoy watching on TV or film and I think he was miscast in Wolf Hall.

I can't say I've enjoyed much of Daniel Day-Lewis's later work either: very self-conscious and with a distinct whiff of ham. I like There Will Be Blood, but I think that's a lot down to Paul Dano. 

I've never seen what others see in Antony Sher. I've seen him five or six times over the years at NT in many different roles but he always seems to give the same (dull) performance.
