Never stop making these, literally the BESTTTT analysis videos on the internet. You’re saving lives here XD

[@shakespeareplaybyplay]

Hah. Thanks. I spend the day editing video essays about the tempest. So I haven't stopped yet

[@ramennoodles9001]

i love this so much, thank you so much! hope you cover more of shakespeare's plays.

[@shakespeareplaybyplay]

I'm so happy to hear this video somehow found you. Yes. I'm working on Othello this summer. Hopefully I'll be publishing them in the fall.

[@birdsongs2911]

Thank you so much!!! Your videos have been so helpful with great points that my students love! What good timing that you created these! I cant wait for more of your analysis!

[@shakespeareplaybyplay]

Thank you for taking the time to say so... It means a lot. I'm finishing edits for a series on Othello which will be (hopefully) filmed, edited and posted sometime in October.

[@ayronfnbr7881]

great video as always and ive been using all these videos to support my gcse revision 🙏🙏, but just to check at 6:09 were you meant to say puck instead of pan or am i missing something?

[@shakespeareplaybyplay]

Oh. Probably. Good catch

[@switch2move820]

First and foremost compliments for dissecting this complex masterpiece. I have to say that this has been very helpful for me. I'm working with the Berlin Philip Orchestra and we are using this play in combination with a composer and breaking it down like this has been very helpful. Thank you very much.

[@shakespeareplaybyplay]

I'm so happy to hear this. I love getting messages from artists who are looking to engage with Shakespeare (or other artists) in this sort of collaboration across time and space. When will the show perform? Maybe I'll go

[@switch2move820]

We’ve called the work puck. The idea is to bring differently able audiences together to experience classical music and we are doing that with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra there’s a wonderful composer, called Persille, who compose a piece, called the Queen fairy based on the play and so your analogy is been very helpful.

In Berlin 19th of October. If you’re interested to give any dramaturgical advice, super happy to connect. Not sure where your situated? I am situated in Holland Amsterdam. But the work is in Berlin. Andrew.
