I get that, and it's a challenge for me as a Shakespeare actor and director. I often work with these "flawed" characters, and early in the process there's this question of "do I really want to tell the story about this person?"

I've got only limited patience for people being stupid and/or mean. Can't we tell stories about good and smart people? Those stories exist, but they're depressingly rare.

I have ways of turning Shakespeare's text into a story that I think you will want to hear. Or at least, trying to. It's the hard part of my job as an artist.

I don't think there are good or bad people. Every person contains both within them.

Stories like that tend to go campy and obvious Hollywood happy endings. Life isn't like that. The good guy rarely wins for being good.
