have been watching  ' twelfth night '  and then  ' much ado about nothing '  on you tube, its just amazing how much better one understands the so called shakespeare once you weave sir henry nevilles life and travels into his plays

' the twelfth night i quite enjoyed '  because its about gender blurring which is me for sure

' much ado about nothing '  has a sort of manic sociality i don't feel comfortable with, but after viewing about four parts of the eleven i kept going, i didn't understand why

then just before the end of the last one i viewed i found it, or rather, it jumped out at me

Don Pedro: “ Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you; for, out of question, you were born in a merry hour. ”

Beatrice. “ No, sure, my lord,  my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born.  Cousins, God give you joy! ”

beatrice is quite autistic and you can see sir henry neville knew all about it

his depiction of the nightwatchmen who are quite developmentally disordered is riotous

just a few moments in a whole play but how many volumes it speaks

the discovery of sir henry neville having written the shakespearean plays by brenda  james  is a miracle and opens up the plays in an entirely new way!
