Not as much fun as A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
What about Macbeth?

Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
Macbeth is kind of an OTT tragedy. Witches, murder, and a ghost. Yet I still found it boring. Too political for me, maybe.

Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
I saw it live onstage, and it was boring! It's boring to read too, except for the few good quotes, like, 'Double, double, toil and trouble' (the three witches) and "Is this a dagger which I see before me…" . (Macbeth) "Out damned spot, out I say". (Lady Macbeth.)

The witches are the best part!
Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
ACT I
SCENE I. A desert place.
Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches
First Witch
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Second Witch
When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.
Third Witch
That will be ere the set of sun.
First Witch
Where the place?
Second Witch
Upon the heath.
Third Witch
There to meet with Macbeth.
First Witch
I come, Graymalkin!
Second Witch
Paddock calls.
Third Witch
Anon.
ALL
Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
Exeunt

Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
Polanski’s version was more fun. It was shorter than the play, upped the violence, threw in some gratuitous nudity and featured a young actor who went on to become an annoying children’s TV personality. I watched it at school and we cheered when his character was murdered.

Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
I forgot about Playboy making it. That explains the nudity.
Jon Finch was a star for a bit of time during the 1970s but ended up in supporting roles. My favourite oddity from his credits is The Final Programme (known in the US as The Last Days of Man on Earth).

Those were moral and christian times.

Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
They used to make such R rated movies and they were shown in all world theaters. These days the PG crowd would force such movies off theaters for being too gory.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withnail_and_I
Robinson's script is largely autobiographical. "Marwood" is Robinson; "Withnail" is based on Vivian MacKerrell, a friend with whom he shared a Camden house, and "Uncle Monty" is loosely based on Franco Zeffirelli, from whom Robinson received unwanted amorous attentions when he was a young actor.
Early in the film, Withnail reads a newspaper headline "Boy Lands Plum Role for Top Italian Director" and suggests that the director is sexually abusing the boy. This is a reference to the sexual harassment that Robinson alleges he suffered at the hands of Zeffirelli when, at age 21, he won the role of Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet. Robinson attributed Uncle Monty's question to Marwood ("Are you a sponge or a stone?") as a direct quote from Zeffereli.

Re: The Merchant of Venice Play by William Shakespeare
Surprisingly "progressive" for its time whilst also being horrendously anti-Semitic and not progressive at all.

How was it progressive in that time period? Care to elaborate tomorrow? Amen and God bless.

I could explain the debate, but work begins in eight minutes and I'm far too tired. This article will do a better job regardless:

A stage where every man must play a part,
And mine a sad one.
