She's just so daft. He was quoted as saying the theories were interesting, but as in what I linked above, he doesn't believe it. Did you know that they portray Shakespeare as wicked and cowardly and stupid? Because he's poor. FFS.
Agreed on Jacobi. It's insane. Look, playing a character fantastically is brilliant. Well done. But it does not make you a historian, or a Shakespeare scholar. I really enjoyed playing the town crier in our school play. It doesn't make me an expert on campology.
So, so agreed on point 3. You know, I am a French Revolution geek. I can go on and on about it for hours (I have) but I can't even pretend to be anywhere near an expert on what happened, and why, and the far-reaching consequences. I can't even make my mind up about Robespierre! I'm always sceptical of self-proclaimed experts when they're just amateur admirers with an agenda.
