@benroyce@mastodon.social I watched in awe. Actors who make me believe I understand Shakespeare are amazing. Ian McKellen is a treasure.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @geppiegep@mastodon.nl This is why I still teach Shakespeare to my students, even though one complained at first that he was a "dead white guy from a long, long time ago," and why I make certain we watch a performance and not just read it.
