Number 36 – They befouled the world's stages with incomprehensible dramas

Shakespeare is, according to Mr Grasse “way overrated”, if that were so then people would not queue up to see the latest adaptations, whether they be on film or on stage.
Apparently , according to Mr Grasse “good stories should be like a gangster movie: accessible, excessively violent, and easy to understand”. I suggest you take a look at “O” the 2001 movie by Tim Blake Nelson, or Al Pacino's 1996 “Looking For Richard”, or even “Prospero's Books” Peter Greenaway's 1991 movie, all of which contain violence and nudity, and are easy to understand (Even for Mr Grasse's limited intellect), they are, surprisingly, all adaptations of Shakespeare plays.
