My real pleasure is that 4 times a week 1,800 people are standing up and shouting on Broadway for an author who died hundreds of years ago.

We may pretend we are basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.

Our contention has always been that Shakespeare is our greatest living author. If he can survive a season on Broadway, he must be.

I don't believe you should interfere with any classic for reasons of religious or political correctness.
