A Midsummer Night's Dream (BBC Radio 3)

Around 1972 or 73 I remember when this was my first televised Shakespeare play on BBC TV. It was an outside broadcast recorded during the night and early morning. Ronnie Barker played Bottom.

Dislike

I have a picture on my wall that I bought from a store of the forest in the video picture above loll

I am being forced to listen and it’s sounds so bad

Klko

May I please have a link to the script you used?

scheiße

This is a bland reading of an even worse book

I am who I am I have my own mind I have my own thoughts only me think my thoughts if only I could express my own dreams oh imagine in my own consciousness I am me I am who I am and everything I wanted to be but you don't see me sitting here listening to you confused in me by your words that has no meaning I have a voice it's time for me to speak I want to tell my own stories why can't you hear me I am me I am who I want to be I have my own mind I have my own dreams I don't want you to dream for me have dreamed a thousand years to come and yet I forget yesterday sorrows that's gone I am who I am I am me please don't think for me because I have my own mind my own thoughts and my own needs my heart is mine that means if when I am asleep Young come on yellow Green lantern

Now as a woman experience it does not hate you the more you ate him my dear you become a challenge and that's why it follows like a little puppy dog so you know these men today that love to be in the crib and woman today love the mother these babies that only grown like vegetables and if the woman don't take care of them they can't take care of themselves what a pressure woman have to go through raising a children raise your brothers and sisters raise your mothers and fathers I know I have to raise the baby that is what a disgrace

It's so funny that back in those days Shakespeare gossip was the major socialization with the aristocrats but in today's date they call it snitching or informant but to dialogue is to learn and to learn is to educate and to educate through educating yourself is to be wise with wisdom that's all

DID THEY ACTUALLY MOAN HOLDUP

can someone answer these for me
Questions:
• What is your impression of Egeus, Hermia’s father?
• Why is he so insistent that Hermia should marry Demetrius instead of Lysander (they are
equally handsome and equally rich – interchangeable)? Hint: Arranged marriages
• Is it really about Demetrius, or is it about control?
• Theseus sides with Egeus, but offers Hermia a third option – live the rest of her life as a
nun. What do you think of his ruling? He may be following the law, but is this justice?
Media Spotlight:
• What impression do you get of Monte Athena in Michael Hoffman’s film?
• What advantages might there be to moving the play from ancient Athens to a more
modern setting?
• Watch Hippolyta’s reaction to Theseus’s judgment in the film. What might she be
thinking? What has made her so upset?

helped me tons with understanding the play. thanks

I wasn't excited to listen to this, but it's actually kind of nice, I like it.

U ACCTUALLY HAVE A WASTED LIFE IF U TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH THAT

All the negativity damn a love classic lit and seek this stuff out but can understand why it's no fun when people have to do it for school.

best 5:9

Excellent! So clear acted and well done!

I always die laughing at the mean comments to Hermia (in Act 3 scene 2) because she is small. "You bead, you Acorn!!!" Ahahaha

This is abridged.

Fuck this shit

Bruh fuck school lol anyways I do be vibing

This is the first play I ever saw, when I was six years old, about sixty years ago. And I have seen it numerous times since. During my teenage years it was with Diana Rigg. (Sigh.) But I think that it is with this realization that I finally get it. Bottom is the hero. He absolutely killed his part and the nobles who look down their noses at him we're put to shame. His naivete and boastfulness belies his fundamental innocence. He was able to become Pyramus with that innocence. And all the role making devices that the rude mechanicals come up with reminded me of my old directors in school plays telling us how things would work on stage.

If I had a time machine, I would go back to when this premiered, find a good seat at the Globe, and laugh my ass off along with everyone else.

Im doing this for my english homework
