Laurence: “There was one that<br />
got cut from a really early scene.<br />
Bill’s talking to Anne on the hillside<br />
and it was just a really geeky thing,<br />
it was a detail I really remembered<br />
from school. When he said he was<br />
going to get another job, she said<br />
‘Oh, you’re going to go work for your<br />
father, because people always need<br />
gloves.’ I love those rich little nuggets<br />
of history. I think there’s plenty in the<br />
film.”<br />
Ben: “There’s too much in the end.<br />
We couldn’t cram enough in, really.”<br />

Ben: “I do like Much Ado. It’s perfect.<br />
It’s farcical, it has misunderstandings,<br />
highs and lows, assorted love<br />
stories…”<br />
Laurence: “I think that’d be good.<br />
I’d like to do a Merry Wives as well,<br />
because Falstaff is just…”<br />
Ben: “I was hoping that one day<br />
you’d give us your Hamlet.”<br />
Laurence: “I think you might have<br />
to keep hoping on that one. For the<br />
love of <strong>Shakespeare</strong> I will not do<br />
Hamlet.”<br />
