Never say never...

Hi there!

Yes I know I said I'd moved on to 'Blogging Pastures New' but the Bard just won't lie down and nor should he!

Actually it took the start of the fabulous new drama series 'The White Queen' from the BBC (or the Brilliant Bard Channel) to put me back on Billy-Boy's trail. Two episodes into this adaption of the historic novels by Philippa Gregory and I'm already reaching once more for my copies of Henry VI and Richard III. I know! The Histories!!



So I'm back, Billy-Boy's back and the Blog's back! Be ready for more reviews, clips and other Shakespearean shenanigans!

And remember - "Thou art divine!"

Questions

Hamlet Gangnam Style

Someone was bound to do it eventually!

'King Lear' by Jean-Luc Godard

'King Lear' (1987)

So let me get this straight. 

This is a film by Jean-Luc Godard loosely based around the story of King Lear which stars Woody Allen and Peter Sellers (not to mention 80's Hughes-heartthrob Molly Ringwald). And I've never even heard of it before now! 

How is this even possible? ("Anyone...? Anyone..?")

My guess is that unfortunately it's either really, really bad or really, really up its own Art House! Or both!
