Mette Borg, dramaturg, præsenterer nogle af Shakespeare’s mest farverige narre-karakterer, der alle bag narremasken vover at kommentere en verden, der ofte er i kaos. Med humor og begavelse revser de verden og sig selv.

Foredraget suppleres med ’Hard to Be the Bard’ fra Broadway musicalen ’Something rotten’ fra 2015, hvor karakteren Shakespeare synger om problemerne med at være berømt. Sangen er kendt for its komødiantiske indhold, kraftigt influeret af rock-stiler.

Mette Borg introduces some of Shakespeare’s most colourful fools that all, behind their mask, comment on a world that often is on the brink of chaos. With humour and talent they are critically observing their surroundings – and themselves.

The lecture is being accompanied by the song ’Hard to Be the Bard’ from the 2015 Broadway success ’Something rotten’ in which the character Shakespeare complains about the difficulties of fame. The song is known for its comedic, rock-influenced style.
