this morning to put together the
presentation more about that would be a
challenge for professional company
anyway we have given it a title in come
try this and president it is called
why should a man be proud of that pride
what you are about to see and we’ll a
while uphold the unyoked humor of your
idol sionis Tyrion will imitate the son
son who dumped amid the base contagious
cloud to smother up his beauty from the
world again to be himself being wanted
whatever may be more wondered at wonder
by breaking through the foul and ugly
mists of vapors that you’ve seemed to
strangle him tranio so with the smooth
behavior on throat oh ah and pay the
debt I never promised end death how much
better than my word I am
I like falsify men’s humps my
recommission returning all my thought
whoa could be and attract more obvious
than that which to set it off redeeming
time to fight prejudice we must use
pride pride Shakespeare uses the word
pride pride 116 times throughout his
Canon he uses the word prejudiced only
three times he uses the word punishment
122 times and the word reform or as it
is if he used in Shakespeare Reformation
16 times but how do we define attention
discretion without an abundance of the
God to stand opposite Aamir of his
prized nature let us hear PE Eau de D I
see ye prejudice first victory
chauvinism discrimination and losses or
sexism
remember apartheid discus the judgment
prepossession
movements revulsion on that stand
you will stand stern
given all Swift words he the judge his
hand from the dock dock fine judgment in
yourself sir
one birth and the next will hold in that
L oh oh oh
boredom fatigue noise and boredom
appetite from judgment did stand aloof
oh the last line is of course shifted it
cartons from a long narrative poem
called the complacent love the other
lines were forged in the imagination of
a sixteen-year-old boy
incarcerated in Her Majesty’s Prison
loose a ghastly face and may you never
had to go that you had never interacted
with Shakespeare until that day at the
end of that session he came up to all
the actors who were working with him and
thanked them and when he got to me he
thanked me for giving him a reason to
want to meet I hadn’t Shakespeare tell
me and I will show me and I will
remember in for me and I will he in
found a slice a new slice of private day
he discovered a practical tool new to
him with which he could protect himself
from ever rising against further
prejudice to blush blush
bloody face this dog is not on my
not decked with diamonds in Indian
stones nor can it be seen micron is
called content oh it is that Selden
King’s enjoy enjoy enjoy babe
my MA knew today’s when I die I want to
be thoroughly the harder I work the more
I live I rejoice in life with its own
sake
life is no brief candle for me for me it
is a glorious torch let’s go smudge this
foil to shave down yes
no no to angle to belies a doctor to
embroider lies yes
what is acting at a form of legal
manipulation of truth true is that not
only addressed prejudice we all all of
us wear masks masks Shakespeare tells us
all the world’s all the men and women
merely players girls wear more many
actors the roads and vagabonds of
Shakespeare’s time go into this field to
escape to the shame to escape from
themselves
Krauser to escape some ill pricking
perception of their own demeanors to
cherish words – words give different
meanings to different parts of ourselves
as if it were Christmas Christmas and
each word was the most precious gift
pride Shakespeare
because always always he celebrates
community this to is why he works
effectively inside in her because his
words are in and of themselves a common
denominator of pride grow with them
imprison incarcerated in a physical
space as we are today simply
you

year agreement languages make not you
fall to prison spot is free

doors is bring your boat your prison

find a pride in here that they lose on
the hunt because it is only out where
the real sentence will be and is so our
hope is that a little bit of this trick
but that is what he gives a drink a tool

your prison bathroom over lunch I’ve
asked these men to not only eat their
food but also in by
to masticate with their souls to drink
of shakespeare’s example they were asked
to use one line of shakespeare’s verse
from a list on par and right around it
using not now it’s time to hear one of
these big things to hear it being
regurgitated who would like to share
their wits this is where it gets to is
there anyone
one person who would like to share a
mixing

procurement dark path that doesn’t mean
a man can’t change his stars
our revels now are ended and these
leaves our actors as I foretold you were
all spirits and are melted it we’re in
there and like the baseless fabric of
the sea the cloud-capped towers the
gorgeous palaces the solemn temples the
great globe itself fell by our is
rounded with a sleep now you take
nothing else away from today we take
this the language we have been playing
because that’s what we’ve been doing we
complain we
the language that we have been claiming
is yours the pride of this language is
yours it is your birthright and no no it
doesn’t matter what costume or uniform
or how many keys or what authority they
made there no one can take the power no
one can take the joy of this away enjoy
