Joey Tremblay Thought 4

My name is Joey Tremblay and this is my fourth thought. I hate Shakespeare. I hate watching it. I hate reading it. I hate studying it. I hate performing in it. I hate directing it. There I said it. Okay, I'm a Scrooge of Shakespeare. And I hate the way it's force fed to us like a cultural tonic that we are forced to swallow but we are told that it's ultimately good for you, good for your soul. Is it really good for me to sit for 2 hours bored and disengaged , rolling my eyes and wanting to die? Is it really good for me to bow down reverently to a culture of another country, from another era, from another dead white guy? Bah Humbug.
