Please stop pretending to be breaking boundaries. Have the courage to just say we're going to do a conventional play really well and you'll have a good evening. There's nothing wrong with that, and if that's what you want/need to do don't try to sell some leap into the unknown. #yesimtalkingtoyou

Shakespeare's home in Copenhagen now has solid wooden seats. Less a wooden O and more a wooden dash, but we're excited to welcome an audience onto them.

I would start with four early comedies, move onto the problem plays; then the four great tragedies and finally the late romances (Cymbeline, Winter's Tale, Pericles) ending with The Tempest. After that you really have to do the history plays in a sensible order. Then LLL and the rest.

If you cast Indira Varma as Jocasta then I fail to see the problem. I feel like everyone would give Oedipus a break you know, like don't do it again Ody but leave your eyes alone mate.

Theatre should do what only theatre can do. It is unambiguously happening in front of you, the words you are hearing are being spoken now, the people are there, it is real. People will always want to experience this....
