#MuchAdoAboutNothing by #ForcedEntertainment, a #TableTopShakespeare

Don Jon: "The thing about me is that I'm a plain dealing villian."

Don John's servant: "[plan] & this will cause a lot of trouble."

Don John at wedding that was called off: "I was there too. And she is nothing but a whore."

cf #HonourKillings

#Shakespeare

Not trained in #DementiaCare.
And seeing I need at least informal training if things continue on the current track.

So don't take the following as more than an anecdote.

#TableTopStories on events in their own life and overviews of life-courses are pretty powerful for my elderly relative who is afflicted with #Dementia.

This #Storytelling / #Dramatisation is a generalising of the (bits obvious to me) method of #ForcedEntertainment's #TableTopShakespeare.

So far; good for pair and trio.

Watched another #TableTopShakespeare by #ForcedEntertainment.

#KingJohn

Is this the "#WhoKilledKingJohn?" guy?

The version of "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?", "He doesn't have to say it, we just know what he means", Trump's coded calls for violence, contained in this performance was all too relevant.

Even when the placeholders were a #PotatoMasher and a wooden #MeatTenderisingHammer.

See a TableTop play of #KingTrump?

Watched #LovesLaboursLost performed by #RobinArthur of #ForcedEntertainment.

2nd of these I've watched.
Thinking they might provide a good grounding in performances of Shakespeare. No speeches, no dialect, no rhymes, no elocution, minimal posturing.

Rather I got simple-to-follow interactions between sauce bottles and mayonaise squirters building into simple plots about relationships and pretences.

Watched #ForcedEntertainment's 2015 production of #Coriolanus.
Part of their Complete Works of #Shakespeare.

What is Shakespeare without the speeches?

With only one actor?

How could it throw any light on our current predicament?

I needed a walk to de-stress afterwards.
