Beatles: Pyramus and Thisbe (TV)
Here is an old clip of the Beatles “doing” Shakespeare for die hard Beatles fans.
Q: “Fellas, did you enjoy doing the Shakespearian excerpt in your TV show?”
GEORGE: “Yeah, except he made us rehearse for days!”
JOHN: “And we STILL got it wrong!”
(laughter)
Q: “Would you like to play legitimate Shakespeare?”
BEATLES: (in unison) “No.”
JOHN: “…can’t stand it.”
Q: “Did you like the costumes?”
GEORGE: “Yeah, they were good for a laugh.”
JOHN: “Mod.”
PAUL: (laughs)
GEORGE: (remembering a line) “‘What lantern doth the horned moon present?’”
