Last night I watched The Tempest - a line from the play; as leaky as an unstanched wench ((look that one up for yourself)
A couple of days ago I watched Twelfth Night - this word was used - Consanguineous (Of the same lineage or origin; having a common ancestor.)
When I was at school I enjoyed Shakespeare’s plays very much, in English lit we often went on trips to see his plays performed.
These days they bore the pants of me.
Mind you they reckon every story is just a rewrite of Romeo and Juliet or The Taming of the Shrew

I do not remember Shakespeare at school.
Though no doubt he was in the curriculum.
I have found all those that I have watched as an adult to be very interesting.
If only as a study of past societies.
We did him in school.Couldn’t get on with him at all.Seen lots of his plays since.I think he has to be watched not read.Macbeth is my favourite.
NB He is credited with inventing un.
You add it to a word to make it mean something opposite.
