Delighted by the amount of people who have mentioned Will's birthday to me today. 450 years ago! Bigger than the Beatles!

I remember the first time I read King Lear. I still cry "and my poor fool is hang'd. No no no life".

Paul Scofield was the best Lear I ever saw. 1971

For me not just the greatest ever Englishman but the greatest ever human being. Which may say more about me than about him.

One wonders just how much wanting to "please" the Tudor authorities influenced his appraisals of people like Richard III ?

Imagine some of his plays if he were alive in this era?

The Winter of Discontent (about the Callaghan government, maybe?)
