Shakespeare

I'm trying to think when was the last time I enjoyed a play by Shakespeare. It's certainly a long time ago. I have enjoyed some of his plays which have been made into films but not usually (if ever?) those perfomed on stage. Partly this is my fault since in recent years my hearing hasn't been good and so I miss a lot of dialogue; but only from some actors. So, I blame acrors a lot. This week I went to see a Globe Theatre production of Henry V which was on tour and which stopped off at Cardiff's New Theatre for a week. It began, of course, with the Chorus saying "O for a muse of fire...." etc. This I heard perfectly. But from then on I had difficulty hearing what was said and I blame the actors for their poor enunciation. But I know the play well enough to follow what was going on. I left during the interval.
This was a professional production with professional actors in a splendidly suitable set, yet it lacked something. Was it the direction? Was it me? Was it Shakespeare?
I have to say that I have had it "up to here" with Shakespeare's comic characters. They just ain't funny. Were they ever? Well, yes, some have been;:I recall a couple of characters in The Tempest who made me laugh. But the ones in this Henry V weren't amusing at all. I saw a production of "The Comedy of Errors" at Stratford a few years ago - which had had glowing revues - and I was bored.
So I think it must be me. I have outgrown my pleasure in Shakespeare's plays - except Hamlet, Othello and Julius Caeser.
This reminds me of a famous translater of Ibsen's plays who said, in his old age: "I have spent the best years of my life being bored by the great works of literature".
Whatever, it's no more Shakespeare for me on stage. Films maybe.
