Five little pigs at Twelfth Night

I apologize to the fans of David Suchet, Toby Stephens, the late Aase Gynt, William Shakespeare and Edvard Grieg.

Clever, sweet and utterly funny. Thank you for that! And to answer your question, I'm pretty sure it would take a great lot for Shakespeare's success to fade away without saying goodbye.

Thank you. It makes me happy to see that so many people are still watching my Shakespeare videos and that some of them really understand what I did.

[GODSAWAYONBUSINESS]

It's a pleasure. I watched all of your clips, and - you tell me if it's too much - I consider you the MacGyver of British drama. I would love to see what you'd do with King Lear, some Dvorak and a pot of jam. By the way, I join you in this mineral water toast: all the best to Stephens for his future sobbing performances.

Thank you very much, I feel flattered! Your compliment really made me laugh. Actually some elements of King Lear have always reminded me of a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm: "The Goose-Girl at the Well", but I don't know this drama well enough to use it for such a video. If you have always wondered if it's possible to turn "Jane Eyre" into a detective story, you can watch "Inspector Westsam and the governess" on my Youtube channel "SWfanvidProductions".

@MonaMCMLXX

I've read the summary of the Goose-Girl fairy tale, and indeed, it's quite close to Lear's story. I studied the play at the university, and apparently the critics can't even find all of the sources it was inspired from, mainly fairy-tales.

The Inspector Westsam series is great! Long live Sam West and your videos!^^

@GODSAWAYONBUSINESS Well, now you know two of my channels and you still talk to me. What does that say about your taste? ;-) But there's another one. John Cleese's message to us Youtubers inspired me to make two videos about the relationship between Monty Python and the Youtubers who breach the copyright. If you're interested, you can find the videos on my PatheticTry channel.

Thank you very much! I had to write the speech shortly after some "determined" Toby-fans had asked me to upload the original film instead of ruining it by subtitles. That's why I asked whether there're also some Shakespeare fans amongst all these visitors. :-D It's no problem for me to lose a bet, but losing it only because so many people want to see "Sobbing Toby" (= internal working title) made this speech a little bit sarcastic, I'm afraid. ;-) And sorry, I don't know that Macbeth-version.

[MALGONIAW]

A very delayed answer, but YES !!! There are people interested in Shakespeare, especially when artists like Kenneth Branagh, Trevor Nunn or the fantastic BBC staff responsible for 2005-2007 contemporary interpretations of his dramas an comedies (have you seen James McAvoy's Macbeth?) show us that it is really a source of inspiration. Regards and congratulations - your clips are superb. M.

[MonaMCMLXX]

Thank you.

I really enjoyed this! I'm a fan of Suchet, Grieg and Twelfth Night and I think you've done something clever and sweet.
