Henry VIII is not a very good play
#tales from diana
#i had arbitrarily told myself i would save two noble kinsmen as the last shakespeare play id read
#of the extant 38. for several reasons
#it's a romance. it's based off the knight's tale. that gives me smth to look forward to
#but if henry viii is an example of his collaboration w fletcher... sheesh
#bc that was SLOPPY
#how are you gonna have all the mess and drama from the reign of henry viii to pull from
#and all you give us is... that?
#that's the least tudor tea ive ever seen in my LIFE. you had so much opportunity
#like im surprised at just how dull and amorphous it was
#like all shakespeare plays it had moments of beautiful verse but overall. so malformed.
#im guessing that is fletcher's pen in there making it seem so less like the better author
#not that im condemning fletcher ive not read much of his work
#but ohhhh my god
#i was thinking recently abt how nobody needs to make any more dramas or novels or movies
#about henry viii or any of his wives. it's been done to death. what's even the purpose anymore?
#go read or watch things that already exist. there's no new angle to take on the material
#but it's amazing how one of the earliest dramatized takes on his reign. by the most famous playwright EVER
#is so artistically weak and uninteresting. wow. wow!
