Watching all plays written by Shakespeare in two hours? Wow, it is amazing how if we can do it. Well, we did it two weeks ago. How? Well, Dr. Edwin asked us to watch the CD of Reduced Shakespeare Company.
At first, I don’t have any idea how it is going to be presented to us. Actually, it is a theatre which had been taped. What impressed me the most when watching this play is that the energy that the actors have. All four of them are really professional actors. They must have put all of their energy and effort to make it happen. They have to memorise all the lines that they must speak during the play.
Indirectly, this play gives me better understanding about Shakespeare’s plays. Almost everybody agree that learning a Shakespeare play will bore us to death. The most difficult part is the language. Do you dare to speak in Shakespeare language in everyday life? Of course everybody will say “What on the earth are you trying to tell me???”
The best way to present, teach and learn Shakespeare’s work is, of course, through the funny way. And that is what they did in Reduced Shakespeare Company.
Well, I do wish that I can watch it again!!!
