What a horribly stuffy article. Shakespeare is there to be - TopicsExpress



          

What a horribly stuffy article. Shakespeare is there to be interpreted. After all, the plays written are based on variations of the originals. The whole point of an immersive theatrical experience is that is *should* create audience reaction. If people are clapping because they like something, thats a good thing. If the lure of being splattered with blood in the front row floats your boat, then thats great theyve drawn those people in. Audiences in Shakespeares time werent quiet and respectful. They were loud and irreverent. In essence, Shakespeare was the populist Pantomime. Yes, you dont want your experience ruined by other people but enjoyment is palpable. I dont think theyre whooping and cheering because hes Martin Freeman, as such. More so because hes impressing them with his acting of a character far removed from Bilbo Baggins and Doctor John Watson.
