MSC Memory - Filthy Shakespeare
“Shakespeare…was a walking, talking, breathing sexual pun. His name meant Wanker - to shake one’s spear. His Christian name was a pun on prick, cunt and sexual desire. But the names also meant someone strong and courageous. And with this particular Will Shakespeare, they stood for someone unafraid to shake others out of their complacent assumptions about sexual identity, politics, war, and morality.” Filthy Shakespeare, by Pauline Kiernan, p. 9Shakespeare’s work is timeless, largely because he addressed such fundamental aspects of humanity, including all that is human sexuality. Don’t miss this season’s Marin Shakespeare performances, you’ll become a fan for life of this particular company’s renditions of the plays by the greatest “Wanker” of all time.
