Shakespeare Narratives?

[GEddie]

Yes, that is what I thought. I remembered seeing a pic of the theatre. Such a grand old small place huh? Or have they added on to it?

The old eight-sided wooden theatre no longer exists. It burned while WS was still alive.

The RSC now has a modern theatre that seats hundreds.

Wow! I didn’t know that. I wondered if someone intentionally burned it down? Or what happened?

I don’t think it is historically known. Accidental fires were common then, with candles everywhere and no water pressure.

Yes, that is true. They didn’t have electric power back then.

Would it be recommended to try audiobooks?

Could work. Ideally it’d have different people reading the parts for each character with the proper emotion. That would be a big improvement over reading without aid.

Is there any trascriptions of the Shakespeare plays into a narrative form? I would love to read more Shakespeare, but I cannot get into the format of the plays. Any suggestions?
