One can only read so much before wanting to write about it. Although I have read only a couple pages, I must say I enjoy Peter's way of writing. Even though I see a few grammatical, as usually a English/Lit and Theatre major would obviously notice, errors. I like the way that Peter incites that it is boring to do Shakespeare the usual way (old clothes and long speeches). To me this tells me to break out of the mold as a director. Incredible, isn't it? Imagine Shakespeare differently. What would I do before it is too different?
Now dragging from that perspective, what would I do in the first place? Although Shakespeare, is in itself a work of art. How can I make it my own? I would have to read the play and decide from their. I know as an actor I don't have to think this way. As a director however, I do.
