What? Shakespeare gets your love, but no "many happy returns" for Lola? Perhaps you were unaware that she and The Bard share a birthday. Let's hope we don't find out about her deathday anytime soon.
Lola does not deserve to share this day with WS, btw. She flatly refused my suggestion that we celebrate by watching "Hamlet" or "Henry V."
Lear is better than Hamlet. Hamlet is great, don't get me wrong, and the "what a rogue and peasant slave am I" speech still stops me dead in all my metaphorical tracks, but Lear is better.

Can we still be friends if I say he's overrated?

ReplyDeleteIt would be impossible for you to say he's overrated, given his universal veneration.
I would just like to point out that I'm responsible for this svithe-like moment.
ReplyDeleteThank me.
Shakey P's work is awful. EXCEPT for MacBeth. And probably the Tempest.

ReplyDeleteYou must be kidding. The language has yet to produce anything better than Hamlet. And I'm not just saying that because everyone else does.
