Anthony BarnhartI hate to say it, but I think anachronism is the only way to make Shakespeare palatable to modern audiences. Even then, it's not really accessible to most.
Watching "Girl from the North Country" on #GreatPerformancesPBS. It is not capturing me. Mare Winningham is interesting, but it doesn't have much else going for it. I'm underwhelmed.
Watching the West End performance of "Next to Normal" on #GreatPerformancesPBS. MORE OF THIS, PLEASE. It's so good.

Royce WilliamsAto Blankson-Wood's Hamlet was breathtaking. His command of the nuanced meaning of Shakespeare's words has rarely in modern times been so aligned with physical emotive power, and with the cadence and tonality of spoken English. The soliloquy actually brought tears to my eyes. He clearly worked extremely hard on it all, and it shows.
