Modern Shakespeare

"So, this was one of the island's weird weekends," Karla announced. "Which means it might have been your first bout of dealing with Fandom's ideas of whimsy. That can always take a few days to shake off. Also, it was a weekend for the vast majority of the island's inhabitants. So rather than watching another movie and analyzing it, we'll be watching a documentary about why Shakespeare's works endure to this day. The internet went mad over the newest documentary by historian Philomena Cunk when she took on Shakespeare and I finally managed to track down a copy that wasn't region-locked. It's only a half an hour, so I figured we'd spend a little time after that discussing some of what she covered and how that context will help your understanding of future plays and then I'll let you go early."

Karla was really going to regret not having the chance to watch this first.
