What Was Your First Experience Of Shakespeare?

What was your first experience of Shakespeare?

I don't know if this was my first experience, but it really chimed with me. Growing up, I saw a lot of plays but when I was about 16, I saw Filter’s version of Twelfth Night at the Tricycle Theatre (now the Kiln). In the party scene, before Malvolio comes in, they handed out pizza to the audience and set up a huge game with those fuzzy balls that you throw and catch onto a disc. It was a raucous affair, a frivolous moment of fun that meant when Malvolio came in to stop the fun, we all felt completely chastised, because we were part of the action. Something really clicked for me – I was forced to engage with it in a different way and I felt the wrath of Malvolio coming in and shaking us all up.

just watched it & now i ship hermia x helena :3 also all in all just a stunning production. I'm quite impressed i must say

Julie Taymor’s filmed version of the play she debuted at Brooklyn’s Theater for a New Audience in 2013. In this splendid production, a reverie of love, lust, infatuation, and desire, the charmed Puck—in the visage of a Chaplinesque character—manipulates young lovers through a night of magical excitement and quintessential poetry.

i’m not saying that fixation on any play is good sign but there’s something particularly alarming about getting stuck on hamlet
