• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My favorites are:

Much Ado About Nothing
Romeo and Juliet (I'm an English teacher, what can I say :D )
Richard III
King Lear
Henry V

I love love love Shakespeare films. There was also a good PBS special about 6 or 7 years ago about the Globe Theatre, showing the first performance they did when they reopened (Henry V).

Stirling Castle has nothing to offer... Edinburgh is the best! :p
Yeah, but I can get into Stirling Castle free (cos my dad is a local resident) and I have to pay to get into Edinburgh!

i think its a good play... no offence is meant, but im not interested taking it all to peices, and then seeing how he has structured the sentance in a particular way to emphasise the meaning of the previous statement.

i think that he wrote it in a certain way because that was how he felt, he didnt mean to do it, its just the way it was done. maybe im wrong though, and i need to learn more about it for another year at least....

I hate the way Shakespeare is studied. As an actor, I know R&J works on stage, and it gets the audience to the right places emotionally at the right time. For an intellectual critic, that might not be enough, but for me it is.
