shakespeare makes you see both sides of story. you are thinking yeah, they are right and they should assassinate him. suddenly you see him vuller in vabl in the dressing gown first thing in the morning and you realize there's two sides in the story and shakes -- shakespeare is very good. >> rose: everybody knows what is going to happen but they remain transfixed beyond the death of julius caesar. it's more than just the man. he is the icon. there's something beyond him which falls which caesar dies. and what brutus and cassius do they make a vacuum. >> rose: this quote may come from you and you can take authorship if you like. there's a danger that shakes peer on his pedestrian -- shakespeare is throwing everybody else too far in the shade for us to consider them viable. >> you see shakespeare didn't spring fully formed like athena. he came out of a school of writers, a bit like the hollywood stable of writers in the 1930's. some were writing plots, some love stories. shakespeare was collaborating probably more than we know he was

director tim orr says using shakespeare is a natural choice. >> shakespeare is an expert in violence. there is so much violence and intimidation. and he explores every possible way: family violence, nation violence, kings and queens, husbands and wives, children and parents. romeo and juliet starts out with the thing that shakespeare does so well, he always shows the moment of choice that these characters had. they could have gone that way or they could have gone this way. and if you keep going this way, this is what eventually happens. >> reporter: the idea was conceived two years ago by the theater group in conjuction with the university of colorado's center for the study and prevention of violence. by the end of this school year, nearly 150 schools will have participated, involving 30,000 students from all grade levels. beverly kingston, who heads the center, says the idea is to get students thinking and talking about the various roles people play in bullying situations. >> it's so amazing that shakespeare wrote this so long ago but there really is a place in it for everyone. there

why should we still listen to shakespeare? what does he have to say to us?modern psychology. freud and yung. that's why we also made this set in a psychiatric unit to explore all that. he's got amazingly accurate and insightful things >> stephen: i don't understand why macbeth is upset because his wife just says to him, hey, you should kill the king to become king. that's just politics. why do you think macbeth wimps out so much when lady macbeth has got the real, you know. >> going back to freud he said this very interesting thing about macbeth. he said they're really two parts of the one person. they make up a whole person. i have sex with myself. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: you know what? i think a great many people have played those parts. all right. okay. do you want to play any other double roles. do you want to go a one-man 12 angry man. romeo and juliet? >> romeo, i really wanted to do a production where i play macbeth one night and lady macbeth the next. it's about mask lint >> stephen: the whole play is play is four hours of speaks peer. >>

this riffing on shakespeare goes back a long way right back to portnoy. when alexandealexande r portnoy is complaining about his mothers telling them all the time to say sorry for why won't he tell his own mother that he is sorry and he would never do such a thing again ever. portnoy says actually what we are playing in that houses some fast version of king lear with me in the role of cordelia. so why have i chosen to give you these shakespearean examples from over half a century's worth of great novels? i am not quite trying to tell you that philip roth is the -- and i'm not trying to turn stratford on avon or the museum into the globe theatre. one thing is a may have occurred to you during the speech or perhaps even before it shakespeare was not jewish. [laughter] though of course he was when he needed to be. another thing, shakespeare didn't live to 80, only 252 by which time philip roth had got as far as zuckerman. think of what shakespeare may have written if he had lived to the age of philip roth. but i am saying that roth has shakespeare deepen his

it is clear that ubu roi burlesques shakespeare, but it is unlike the drama of its own time too. during an age when ibsen and chekhov were commenting in their own daring ways on the beliefs of their society, no one was quite like jarry. other playwrights put daring words into the speeches of their characters. jarry provided characters who are distortions of people, anatomic miracles and sartorial disasters. ibsen, with his well-made play, suggests that once social laws and attitudes are changed, the world may be an orderly place for reasonable people to live. other playwrights examine the inner lives of characters or puzzled over a philosophy worth believing in. only jarry, by emphasizing the base, brute-like passions of cartoon characters in a chaotic play punctuated by rude music, suggests that humanity isn't worth taking that seriously after all. as you watch ubu roi, you will be amused, if not startled, by the language and the abrupt changes in scene and costume. the convention of announcing an entire army through use of a toy sign is one innovation. you will see other delibe

that because hell on earth to try to turn these into some sort of order, it was given to me by shakespeare, a man that never went to sea and was completely unaware of the existence and never went on a boat as far as we know but nonetheless, i had read while crossing the atlantic a copy of david ellen hudna written an anthology of his favorite poetry organized according to the and that is where he gave the title of the anthology the seven ages of man from shakespeare and as you remember from school the seven ages of our infant to schoolwide, lover, the soldier, the justice, the old man and then returned to childhood. it seems to me that that would provide a framework and to which i could crawl as much as what i could find out about the atlantic and seems this far in its early days in the book not all of the criticism is in yet but this far no one has said how dare you huge stake spear -- shakespeare. i thought i would do because i know there is a time limit and barbuda is very fierce i'm going to keep this relatively short but i thought i would do is to almost just select from these stories
