I never understood what hamlet was going on about before.
It's amazing how a good rendition can make sense of seeming gobbledegook.
I watched this, I will admit, mainly for David Tennant. I like Shakespeare's comedys, but since I was forced to study Macbeth, and was utterly depressed by Romeo and Juliet, I wasn't expecting to like this that much.
I really enjoyed it. Apart from a few glaring continuity errors, I thought it was really good. And I was amazed by how much of it made sense to me. Whilst I may be one of the people in the theatre to laugh out loud at Tweltfh Night, I still find it tricky to understand the language at times. I thought all the actors were superb, particularly Tennant and the guy that played Laetes. They made the dialogue as real as if it had been written yesterday, and it did not seem to jar with costumes, as I had expected it to.
I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...
