name checking you directly as one of the reasons he has decided to sever ties with the royal shakespeare company is because of its sponsorship by b.p. . to be fair this is. all mark's decision really and he asked me what i felt about it knowing that i have over the years done some work with oil and gas companies including b.p. and shell and had to come to a judgment for myself about the degree to which they are serious now about thriving in a low carbon world without further investments in oil and gas so we talked about that at length and i feel very strongly that when someone like mark feels a moral imperative that is wrong for a company like b.p. to be spending some of its what he would call ill gotten gains on supporting young people through the assisted tickets you have to we have to listen to him he's thought about this really carefully it's a very deep moral decision for him but i mean he quoted you as saying that b.p. has downplayed its role in causing the climate emergency now you just said you advise b.p. moon where they downplay it back then or the time that i was working with b.p. was

our company has the name shakespeare. we all know he was dramatically influenced by the greek tragedies. but as i've just shown in michael's production of "the oresteia," the greek plays themselves have lasting power. they have lasting relevancy. we're talking not just hundreds of years since the 16th century of shakespeare, but thousands. what is so compelling that people will come because it means something? ted: why do you assume shakespeare was a man? abbe: did i use a he? ted: you did. very off trend right now. the great thing about greek drama, greek tragedy is it set the architecture for everything we're about. not just democracy, but the way we communicate in storytelling. there are three great acts. it used to be boy meets girl, boy misses girl, boy gets girl back. it morphed into outsider comes from nowhere, surprises the experts, becomes very, very publicly successful, and people are rooting for their success. and then, because of hubris, an act of god, evil competitor, there is a very, very public and humiliat

all of the members of the company that performed it were imprisoned, except shakespeare. he was very, very careful. at the time, every play had to be reviewed first before it could be performed in london by the master of the rebels, who made sure that it was politically correct. moreover, shakespeare performed his play -- his company eventually was called the king's men. and it was sponsored by king james, and they performed 20 or 30 times a year in the court. so, people were watching. so, his political views had to be expressed, shall we say, very carefully. he could get away with a few things, like macbeth. macbeth is clearly about king james, it is about the trouble that comes from assassinating a legitimate ruler. catholics had just tried to assassinate king james by blowing up -- catholic conspirators had tried to assassinate the new king, king james, by blowing up parliament. james was scottish. shakespeare writes this scottish play in which james's side of the family, banquo's side, everybody looks good. and you are taught not to assassinate the king. so that one w
