Simon Callow on Shakespeare - The Man From Stratford

[peethagoras]

Verily rubycair069, and much pleasure was had in the sport. Taketh mine goodly advice and never let thine dingledongle dangle in the dirt. Always keepeth it tucked under thine fine shirt.

I wonder if any true shakespeare fan can answer this fair question of mine:

Including the front, back and blank sheets, exactly how many pages are there in the 1609 quarto of Shakespeare's Sonnets?

If you really know the sonnets you'll know the book.

Poor old Simon. There was no such person as shakespeare.l

Simon Callow - so much more interesting and eloquent than, say, an illiterate pig farmer.

Simon Callow is completely full of shit. Nearly all of his movies bomb at the box office. Simon could care less, so long as he gets paid to wear powdered wigs, and engage in foppery.

@elrond70 Callow is a long established and well respected actor. You, on the other hand, are a git.

@elrond70

Truth will out man.

Callow and his crappy acting is so crap its like the crappiest of all shites.l

Shakespeare didn't even write Sir Thomas Moore. There's about one page that a minority of scholars think might have been drafted by him. That's it. Callow's point pretty much fails, then.

It's amazing the amount of things Shakespeare gets praised for that really only comes from the drunken, idolizing minds of his beholders.

Thomas Moore wrote Shakespeare is a prat but maketh lots of loot.

I love Simon & I adore Shakespeare. We went to see this play in Plymouth & had a wonderful time. Simon's enthusiasm is infectious & we thank all involved for an enjoyable evening.
