Tour de force
I just watched Muse of Fire a second time. Thanks to Dan Pool and Giles Terera very much for their "tour de force" to make Shakespeare understandable to the world. One should really try to make it complusive for all teachers around the world who teach English to watch it - because in the end it comes down to this: making the students work on a Shakespeare play without staging it themselves or going to see one on stage is useless.
Well I know it is probable not possible but at least more teachers should know about this film. There are lots of English theatre companies that tour the world with different Shakespeare plays ( not just Hamlet) but very few teachers actually have a heart to take the pupils to see one. What a waste of precious time just to read a play. Plays are made to watched.
