30 Days of Shakespeare, Day 6: Emma Thompson's Beatrice

‘Nuff said.

There are very few Shakespeare-related opinions that I will completely reject out of hand. Enjoyment of Shakespeare is wonderfully subjective, and if you happen to like or dislike different productions, actors, and interpretations than me, that’s totally fine! Don’t care for Henry IV, part 1? That’s allowed! Enjoyed the Ethan Hawke film of Cymbeline? Wow, I’m glad someone did. You do you! Think it’s ok when productions of The Winter’s Tale don’t actually show the bear? No problem, everyone is entitled to be wrong sometimes!

But if you don’t like Emma Thompson’s Beatrice, it’s all over between us.
