  • To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we asked leading actors to perform key speeches from his plays. Here, Paterson Joseph speaks Shylock’s lines from The Merchant of Venice, Act I, Scene 3, in which the moneylender responds to a request for a loan by reminding his adversary, Antonio, of the times he has insulted him.

      @@artseosamhogriobhta Bec while many of the stories the plays were based on were ancient history or folk tales, Shakespeare adapted it to the language of his day so his audience could understand it..He used a lot of slang and turn of phrases people during his day commonly used, and would have been familiar with..And while his plays can teach, and point to universal truths about life, self, and the world, Shakespeare made sure his plays were entertaining and relevant to the times he lived in, sometimes even injecting slice of life bits in between scenes (eg. When Mercutio cursed Romeo as he was dying, saying “a plague on both your houses!” His audience would have easily connected that to the cryers outside the theatre denouncing the theatre groups for spreading the plague by cramming people in those theaters). He catered to his contemporary audience, making sure that they could easily follow the plot and dialogue..The language he used would be dated to us, and that is bec language changes and adapts to the needs of the times..I’m pretty sure being the master of language that he is, he would have made sure if he was still alive today that his plays were understandable and relevant to the contemporary audience..Shakespeare’s plays during his day would have been anything but dated..
