I love going to theatre, but never got into any of Shakespeare’s stuff
To be completely honest I think it’s all ****.

I went to see Steve Steinmans Vampire''s Rock sequel on Friday
puts on a good show, and leather clad mini skirt wearing vampire chicks always a welcome addition.
was a little disapointed though as i didnt realise it was nearly all original music he had written himself so didnt know one song.
the original show was full of famous hits, from Queen/ Meatloaf, etc
off to see That'll be The day with my old man on Wednesday, at least i should know most them!

Same for me, love my theatre trips, but could not watch any a Shakespeare play.
I remember when I was at school we had to study a Shakespeare comedy….i remember thinking this is ****e, where are the jokes!!!!
A local theatre company where I live usually puts on a Shakespeare comedy outdoors every summer. Last year it was Midsummer Nights Dream and it was very funny, but in a slapstick sort of way as opposed to jokes and one-liners. I've also seen Shakespeare done in Stratford by a 'heavyweight' company, I almost fell asleep, my wife did after 5 minutes, I had to wake her up at the end.
I queried this very point to a Shakespearean scholar once.
He said if I was an Elizabethan yeoman I'd have been rolling in the aisles, unable to contain my mirth; this stuff was comedy gold to the sixteeth century mindset.
The problem, apparently, was me. I just didn't get the jokes; I lacked the appropriate sense of humour.
He added that the only humour that has survived down the ages is, (as Plum mentions), the slapstick.
Which doesn't need language and is the reason why Benny Hill is so popular abroad.
They’ve sent an email asking what I thought of Macbeth
Told em Macbeth didn’t emote well enough
First half dragged
And it was better second half but Macbeth woulda been out of sight before Mally n Macduff got their act together in injury time

In the 60s I did Midsummer Nights Dream for Eng Lit 'O' level - we had a great teacher who tried to impart his love for all things Shakespeare. I remember him saying pretty similar to you, that it was Elizabethan slapstick; there was a section where there was a play within the play, two lovers were whispering through a wall, the wall was played by a human which our teacher thought was hilarious and tried to convey the humour - I could see the joke, I just didn't find it funny ...
Saw Ash at Welly tonight. Cracking night.

Did he get that hat off the bloke who does the half and half scarfs?
Answering my own question after looking on the Tiger leisure website no he didn't. It's genuine.
And if you type into Google search, hull city club shop all you get is FC stuff.

I get different now to what I first got last night.
Not 606 hull city forum, the font of all knowledge, better than Google,
Edit. The only time I ever set foot in the boulevard was to see the vikings.
Justin Fletcher was on top form today as usual, no grand old Duke of York , but still a set list with roof raisers , I am the music man and hokey kokey as standouts . Luckily sounds as our game wasn’t a bad one to miss , except the result
Took my daughter to see Sombr tonight. Pretty good actually, I thought he’d be ****e. Funny how much better and energetic music can be live vs the gentle studio mixes.
