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.

The Violet Hotel's waitress and local tour guide are determined to foil the protagonist's plans to take megalomaniacal kleptomaniac Grendel Jinx back to America after causing city-wide trouble in Chichester, England. Unfortunately, neither native is prepared for the cost of doing so.

„From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, that show, contain, and nourish all the world.“

Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 7 of 37:

#LovesLaboursLost is a rare play by #Shakespeare that exhausts me, perhaps because it's 62% wordplay, 37% soliloquies, and just 1% plot...four noblemen vow ascetic studying and chastity for three years then they realize it's a bad idea...prolix tedium ensues

How many weary steps,
of many weary miles you have o'ergone,
are number'd in the travel of one mile?
