Shakespeare is poetry.

I would suggest to anyone starting in Shakespeare - first watch ANY of Kenneth Branagh’s film productions - Hamlet, Othello, Henry V. Absolutely fabulous.

I wish Branagh would return to this instead of BBC crime shows and secondary parts in Hollywood films

I wish he’d do “Macbeth” with a Patrick Doyle score.

"I would suggest to anyone starting in Shakespeare -"

I've read a ton, but none since about 1980.
I'm having fun with it - probably spill over well into next year, too.
