One of those quirky thoughts you get crossing over the bridge coming to work in the morning.
Shakespeare and Warhol have a lot in common.
Like the artist, Shakespeare took what was common in his culture and made people really look at it - not look 'new' so much as look deep.
There is tremendously little originality in Shakespeare in terms of philosophy or politics or plot.
No one looks at the plays in performance though for originality - especially nowadays when everyone has read the text before going into the cinema (whoops, should I have said theatre?).
You want to see a slant on your preconceptions: You want a push towards the edge for the thrill of it.
Must try to sleep more and think less.
