@@miguelneto6597 thats right

I must say I disagree, the energy when I was in the audience was palpable... Maybe it just doesn't translate well to video

"A little too millennial" doesn't seem like valid criticism of Shakespeare to me. Theatre, especially Shakespeare, is supposed to be adaptable generation to generation. It is meant to be a pliant, shifting medium intended to appeal to all and to be interpreted according to individual discretion. "A little too millennial" doesn't mean anything in the way of theatre criticism. Criticize it, perhaps, on some of the directorial decisions regarding the interpretation of this scene, but it doesn't make sense to point out the age of the actors. Maybe you're just a little old.

I've noticed that in practically every one of these RSC clips there are people in the comments complaining that they've changed things, how it isn't 'serious' enough, how it's too 'gimmicky'. What I don't understand is, why are these people - who are so afraid of interesting, creative choices - bothering to come to the theatre anyway? Wouldn't something boring and predictable, like a video of a maths lecture that they've watched several times already, be more their thing?

Ben jonson in his poem on Shakespeare wrote 'he was not of an age but for all time'
