All The World's A Stage...

And I want to get off.
Globe Theatre- Romeo & Juliet
So that the audience don't get too upset, it's explained to them that the cast aren't really trying to kill each other or commit suicide. It's all, like, pretend wiv fake blood n' stuff.

I'm not sure where the fault for this type of nonsense lies. Is it an health and safety issue where everything has to be explained even though it's obviously not real. Does common sense no longer exist?

It will be interesting when the Pantomime season starts. The "explanations" will take longer than the show.

[Spicerack]

Punch & Judy person will be ***.

Going to have trouble with the history plays....it's not real, but It was real... Only it may not have been... But Shakespeare had to please the ruler at the time.... So it was probably something like that... Anyway people were killed usually by being hacked to death but we couldn't show that so could you just like pretend that's what happened, then look up on wiki to see what really really didn't happen!

Except that there's no suggestion that people might think it real. People can still be affected by fiction, hence content warnings having been used for films and DVDs for some years. A) Ignore any story of 'Daily Mail' origin. B) Learn to read.

Oh no they won't!

[burlyshirley]

10:37 of course common sense no longer exists, surprised you had to ask really ...

[Togo]

You must "put it behind you" Webbo. :))

[webbo3]

Lol

[Spicerack]

Aw, Wordy. It's very hard to please all the people all of the time.
I'm sorry that you, alone, thought I was poking fun at the audience.
While I was reading about this story, I came across another one.
See do you like it any better.

I can't imagine that anyone would actually buy tickets to see a Shakespeare play without being aware that it is actually a drama, and by definition, not real.

I bet Bill Shakespeare would have smiled at that Spice, if he could of course.
