It helped me better understand the play!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867226903227387373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-14485072860979258432010-01-25T20:36:47.546-04:002010-01-25T20:36:47.546-04:00Or have you seen the film version of Much Ado Abou...Or have you seen the film version of Much Ado About Nothing - with Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh? Or there's a really good film version of Twelfth Night also, with Helena Bonham-Carter as Olivia, or also, oh, David Tennant was in an RSC version of Hamlet they just did. ANY OF THESE might make you love Shakespeare (she said hopefully).Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-77911437354960328182010-01-25T13:19:26.310-04:002010-01-25T13:19:26.310-04:00ctoan - never seen any Hamlet movies.

I usually like the adaptations of the plays into other books or movies. And if you mention Three's Company, it has to be good.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-52443036584569766262010-01-25T08:53:15.261-04:002010-01-25T08:53:15.261-04:00You've never seen the Mel Gibson version of Ha...You've never seen the Mel Gibson version of Hamlet? Ethan Hawke was in a version of Hamlet set in modern times.<br /><br />10 Things I Hate About You is a version of Taming of the Shrew. And do you remember the Moonlighting episode based on the same play?<br /><br />A Midsummer's Night Dream has never appealed to me either. My favourite comedy is A Comedy of Errors--basically a Three's Company level of misunderstanding, as told by Shakespeare.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252117212940198488noreply@blogger.com
