Claudio & HeroBack in the late 70's and early 80's, the B.B.C. used to show a 'live' Royal Shakespeare Company production of his works.
They would show the whole play (with intermissions) on a Sunday evening. They were marvelous!
I had attended a secondary school, which was very much 'Shakespeare' orientated with eight 'houses' who were named after a Shakespearean 'Heroine' ( my house name was 'Olivia'). So you can imagine, English Lit. was very, Elizabethan!!
I happened to love Shakespeare!
Anyway, I digress. Sunday evenings . . . and the plays. I used to have a large volume of Shakespeares works in there entirety. Wow, the scripts were lonnngggg! So, when a production started, I would have my book out and read the text as an actor or actress spoke them, amazingly, every single word was totally correct!!! Never, a mistake.
Oh, how I wish that the B.B.C. would start them again . . . . . .
