Mr. Atkinson read these plays a bit too quickly. Leartes doesn’t die, does he?

Does anyone want to buy a German version of Shakespeare’s work – I don’t need to read it anymore now.

🤔Curious – are there more words than the Ye Olde English? Is it Modern German or High German?
€s?

Honestly, I have no idea and I am still at work. I bought it around 20 years ago and it sits in my shelf of unread books since then.
If I remember right, my sister read it aloud wandering around in her garden.
No €, I sit in Switzerland, we do CHF 🙂

😄🇨🇭I am schooled!
So how much CHF for that high shelf dust catcher?
Bet your cat likes to cuddle up to it and keep Will et al. company.

It was cheap, around CHF 30.00, I think. I just grabbed it to see what’s in it und the hubby said: What are you doing with this tome?
In it are 80 sonets and Hamlet, The Tempest, Othello, Macbeth & King Lear.
The writing is rhyming (as it should I guess) and it’s more Modern German.
The cats can’t cuddle with this one, cause it is high up on a shelf over the wardrobe, when you enter the house 😊

😇😅 Funny how you picture the Scottish Lord… (and are not afear’d to name him!)
…and the Danish Prince, I see Mary Quant hairstyle with the wee Van Dyke.
…and Lear, I see him more like Einstein with bushy overgrown eyebrows

Distilling hours of high drama down to just two words is both peak efficiency and hilarious comedy! As Mr. Ohh’s Sideways View pointed out in the comments, it definitely saves a lot of theater time—and lyndhurstlaura’s teaser about Othello was spot on. Brilliant comic, John!

😄😜🤪🤔 do you think Shakespeare was also subversively saying that 👑 Royalty are a little bit nuts?! Cuz it was all about power and kingdoms.
But Wills also humanized these superego protagonists to have problems relatable to the groundlings (in the General Admission, stand area in front of stage)and commoners.
