Interviewer: Where did you first encounter Shakespeare? Was it love at first sight? KB: It was not love at first sight. It was perplexity at first hearing. Standing up in a school classroom and being asked to read aloud from The Merchant of Venice and finding it makes no sense at all. So, that was good, because I realized, okay. Well, this is sometimes, and maybe often, what it’s like for other people. And here it is for me. And then, not long after that, I was taken by the school to a riotous production of Romeo & Juliet. A thousand thirteen-year-olds all watching a fight start at the beginning of the play. Sparks fly off the blades. And in the case of myself, a very beautiful young lady walks on as Juliet and that did it for me. The rest of the afternoon was just a riot of the audience responding to everything they saw. These thirteen-year-olds have no other agenda, but are they interested? Is their attention caught? And ours very much was, by the passion, and the violence, and the sex. Better to watch it or hear it or feel it than necessarily merely to read it.

Kenneth Branagh’s Love’s Labour’s Lost has so much fun and beautiful dance, music, costume, make-up and of course lovely Ken. 

I can understand the reasons why it was terrible at THAT time, maybe because it is bold to make Shakespeare musical. But after nearly 20 years, it is really a fantastic work. Kenneth is always wonderful to make Shakespeare easy to understand, visually and acoustically enjoyable.

Women of Will: Part 5/? (x)
“There may be only three or four women in each Shakespeare play but they are the key to how to transform a society. They are theteachers and the leaders in a new way of thinking about relationships, hierarchies, and love. They have the focus and energy to counterbalance the authority of the ten to thirty men who inhabit each play.”- Tina Packer

Kenneth Branagh 30 Day Challenge.      ↳ Day Six: Your most watched Ken film?

Love’s Labour’s Lost

So it may not, in the grand scheme of things, be the best film in the world. But I love it. First, it combines three of my favourite things: 1) Kenneth Branagh, 2) Shakespeare, 3) The Great American Song Book. On paper this should have worked a hell of a lot better than it actually did. Having said that, it’s fun, light hearted, doesn’t take itself too seriously & I appreciate that. It’s one that I put on when I’m feeling a little low, or when I’m spending a night in with a friend & some port & we want something to giggle at. The bloopers reel kills me every time, but some parts are actually excellent, like this bit - I thought that was a stroke of genius.
