The Winter's Tale


So apparently I am not a fan of Shakespeare. I found this out this evening as I was dragged along when my novitiate group all went to see the production at the Cork Opera House which is right across the river from the priory.
It was the first Shakespeare production that I ever went to and although I have to admit that the props and effects were pretty cool, the language used in the script made it quite hard to keep my attention. At certain points I found myself completely lost.
I mean seriously... there was a point where a woman gave a 10min monologue just to say that someone died, (something that could have taken 10 seconds).
So to all of those who love classical theatre and all that, hats off cuz I am definitely not one of you.
