Dominic Dromgoole on Shakespeare
Friday 1st January 2016
Quote of the month: “Many have tried to deify Shakespeare. The Stratford industry depends on it, together with a million school and university courses, and much of British identity. They all congregate to make Shakespeare not human. To say that his plays were all part of some deliberate, divine design. But they weren’t. They were plays written by a Stratford boy, who became a man in a London exploding like a firework display.” (Dominic Dromgoole’s Will & Me: How Shakespeare Took Over My Life)
