Performing Shakespeare in its original pronunciation

[Michael]

Still going through all the Shakespeare plays on DVD (but not in their original olde English). Just finished "Twelfth Night". I am trying to watch them in the order in which they were written ........ which is a can of worms of a totally different colour worth two in the bush.

What, that makes me Cindarella? Oh good, I knew that pink frock would come in use one day ...

I know, I know, quoting oneself can be seen as unforgiveable vanity, but talking of pink frocks and glass shoes that fit, did I not read a year or two ago that some biographer posited that Wagner was possibly a cross dresser? Well, it does seem that he had a penchant for fine fabrics such as satin and so on ...
Preston : Wagner is certainly considered a genius. Should I take his beliefs into account as I struggle to make sense of this world?
Megan : Let us sigh together.

[Quijote]

Huh?

Joker you are, Joy.
I would like too explain, but I don't have to much time.
I'll shut up now.

[Quijote]

Why?

Independence of thought? One man's meat another man's poison?

[Joy]

Now Joy, ouy naem "ot", not "oot", ylerus?

Huh?

[Preston]

Apologies but your remarks were open to such an interpretation!

All too easily, .

I was saying to Preston that the personal religious views of great historical figures have [corrected/edited; see below] no bearing on my own beliefs.

Why?

[Quijote]

Apologies but your remarks were open to such an interpretation!

Lord, you're as incorrigible as Preston! Never mind, in my latest guise as "Mr Nice Guy" (as opposed to my former incarnation as "Forum Terrorist and Part-Time Pedant") I accept your apologies wholeheartedly.

I'm afraid you have misread me. I was saying to Preston that the personal religious views of great historical figures has no bearing on my own beliefs. That their work is informed by their beliefs is of interest, clearly.

[Quijote]

Thanks Preston! With the Holidays coming time is certainly getting away from me and I don't log on as much as I would like too!

Now Joy, ouy naem "ot", not "oot", ylerus?

[Joy]

Joy, it has been a while since you have posted! Great to hear from you!

Should your joke not read:

[Quijote]

But it should be of interest - that is a very arrogant argument to say that because you believe in nothing, others beliefs and the effect it had on their work is of no interest. What you or I do or don't believe is of no interest, but when it has a direct effect on a creative genius such as Michelangelo or Bach then it is highly relevant.

Why did the atheist cross not the road?

He thought there might be a sidewalk on the other side, but he wouldn’t believe it until he tested his hypothesis.
