This is, I hope, the first video where I do my hot takes on notable adaptations of classic literature. Yes this does mean fairy tales will be included. This is also a method for me to separate the Shakespearean play/element/performances from the non-Shakespearean adaptations so I can judge the other performances separately from that influence.
