Who's Brave?!

Is anybody, ever, going to be brave enough to engage amateur performers in a Shakespeare play? I love Shakespeare and was just wondering why no-one seems to want to direct it? is it concern for lack of interest? Lack of talent? Lack of audience appeal? is it too dated? Ladies and gentlemen, is Shakespeare dying? If so, I’d like to pay my respects...

I think Shakespeare is

I think Shakespeare is probably over-represented in the plays performed by both amateur and pro companies. How about instead we support local emerging writers instead? The man might be dead, but his works certainly aren't. Moppet eyes now on sale at Puppets in Melbourne
