It's amazing how far a little royal patronage can get you.

They'd never heard him tell a joke before.

It's hilarious how Shakespeare's are seen in modern times considering what they were originally. They're full of dirty jokes and the accent they were originally performed in sounded nothing like the "modern" Received Pronunciation used today.

Do you happen to know where to find whole plays done in the original pronunciation? I'm not exactly bad at finding things on the internet, but I can't find any of Shakespeare's plays in their original pronunciation, or more than a tiny bit of Chaucer's Canterbury tales in spoken middle English.

Thanks! I'd not found the 12th night or the sonnet before. I look forward to sitting down and watching it.
