How Shakespeare Fooled the Censors

[@emmagrace8938]

Omg, I want Mouse to always have a little flower crown 😭❤️

[@kneecole1282]

Mouse the Cat is a treasure in every video!! I've never seen a cat that's so cooperative with filming!

For comparison, my elderly tuxie Emma (16) is digging her claws into my shoulder, because love hurts.

​@@ejmcguinness6875 I've had three tuxedo cats, 🥰 my Rocky lived over 20 years. Miss my beebee's. 🥲♥️

Shakespeare, cats and cake - my kinda learnin' 🧚‍♀️ 🐈 🎂 (That cake genuinely looks so good) 👌

[@yawigriffini]

What a wonderful video. I appreciate the well linked research, explanations , interpretation and, of course, Mouse’s insight.

[@books_ncats]

Ah thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video! Mouse offers extremely valuable insight, it’s true 🐹 - Rosie

Going for Procession to Calvary vibes

[@Pratchettgaiman]

You were really proud of all your cake metaphors, weren't you?

[@books_ncats]

I certainly was 🍰🍰🍰

[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

I love your crowns!! 💕

[@doroginn]

An absolutely excellent video! 🎉🍰 I have always loved Shakespeare's writing, this being my favourite! Knowing the history that shaped his writing is so cool, and the way you share this information is nothing short of spectacular! I can't wait to watch more. Had I become an educator, your videos would definitely be on my syllabus. ❤

[@books_ncats]

Thanks so much! ☺️ - Rosie

[@Lassoducky]

I love all the callbacks to the cake! brilliant and fun🤣

[@QuikVidGuy]

your explanation of A Midsommer's Night Dream made more sense than reading it

[@otilialampman7850]

I really wanna know where you got your blue velvet dress.

[@naftalibendavid]

These are so great!

[@Solonneysa]

lmao you eating that cake had me dying! I set up my phone to listen to you while I made eggs, and happened to look over right when you dug in. Too funny

[@ForestFairy]

Great video! Very informative. :D Also may I ask, do you have a link to the performance recording? I've been trying to find recordings of Shakespeare plays for a while now. :)

[@books_ncats]

Hi, thank you! ☺️ The amazing Bridge Theatre production was available via National Theatre At Home, but I have a feeling it might not be anymore. Definitely worth checking though because it’s an incredible performance, plus NT At Home tend to have lots of other great Shakespeare plays to watch. You can rent them individually or subscribe, I believe! Hope this helps 🙂

[@ejmcguinness6875]

I cheered aloud when you said this is about Midsummer. My favorite. Also I like your cake, as it looks like fairies made it.

[@ReverendRichardHaahr]

I hope you recorded that cake cost for your business. Such a great implementation

[@johnrusnak2101]

oh to write something that is one day considered seditious and heretical - what a dream

[@misslarissa6046]

Mouse in her little flower crown!

[@starlight4130]

Wonderful! Thank you

[@leaf111]

amazing video and so informative, i never fully understood the history of the catholic vs protestant conflict thank you! by the way, do you know where we can watch the bridge theater performance you mentioned online? i can only find short clips of it on the national theatre channel

[@GilTheDragon]

"Even worse: Catholic Heresy" when youre right youre right. I wonder if one could have gotten out of trouble by becoming a sort of witchcraft privateer. "Oh yes i am engaged in diabolical necromantic magic, but only against those wretched papists"

[@Levacque]

Came for the history, stayed for the cat.

I am interested to know how men would react to being informed that they themselves are the reason for not producing male heirs. 😂

[@sharonthompson672]

MOWWWWSSSE!!!!! 🥰
