Liberty Quote
From the most primitive cultures to the most advanced civilizations, man has had to manufacture things; his well-being depends on his success at production.

Oh My God
This is going to be painful
How long til “lack of funding” is mentioned ?
!st question to the luvvies who spend their life playing make believe and;
What influence does a 450 year old dead white guy have.
Just when you think peak stupid has been reached
The mouthbreathers come out and prove you wrong.
Indulging in a pop-up globe isnt privalige?
Shakespeare is racialised, welcome to the sewer troops.
Yep … 5 is way too high.
Courage, Carpe. It will be over soon…
5 minutes in and its heavy going.
Double scotch imperative.
Lets go to the Shakespeare Insult Generator
She is – Thou tongueless toad-spotted flirt-gill
10 please, Carpe.
For reference purposes

Why the fuck so they keep cutting across that woman in the audience with a head like a blowfish?
She a favorite in the green room?
Armfield – rank elf-skinned horn-beast
Thou degenerate earth-vexing mammet!
I need to find a firm wall to bang my head on. Climate change Shakespeare.
If it’s more than 1 I’ll be more shocked than King Duncan
Stop saying racialise…
Red dress racialising again- she is a lascivious muddy-mottled puttock
Thankest thou for the Shakespearian shit canner bond .
She’s done aboriginal shakespeare?
Romeo Romeo get me a plagon of lady in da boat Romeo.
Fatso in red is gibbering.
It can be what you want it to be. It fits every one.
Now we are really getting somewhere.
Aboriginal stories similar to Shakespeare – aaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha
Thou traitorous reeling-ripe hag-seed
Shakespeare was indigenous …
On to some guy in glasses wearing a bin lid
I’ve seen feuding Aboriginal families that make the Montagues and the Capulets look like Sunday School classes.
Skinny tan girl doesn’t like shakespeare
Thou puny pottle-deep bitch-wolf
The words are flowing from their mouths like a freewheeling spagetti machine into a massive pile of worms on the ground.
We learn nothing.
And now they roll out a high vis quasi comedian
This is embarrasing
The harpy in red is making the luvvies speak common sense
bootless tickle-brained bum-bailey
If quotes can be twisted to any meaning….
Shakespeare’s toxic white masculinity was a key weapon that the patriarchy used, to oppress women in the Middle Ages.
His malign influence is still felt in 2018, but thanks to.tbe ABC we live in progressive times and have a far better understanding of the human condition and its many failures, than ever before.
It is a good thing that the ABC gives us access to leading minds, who can help us understand how awful Shakespeare really was.
I must now attend to my pet unicorn.
OOHHH … the irony !!
When people talk about experiences and feelings, they just make stuff up.
‘When I was at school, we were taught Shakespeare was the great god, the one we shouldn’t touch’. No. No-one ever taught you that at school. No-one ever said or implied that. You did a bit of Shakespeare in VCE and they said he was important and that’s it.
Snocone brings in turdbull getting turfed, armfield joins in as only an inarticulate boob can.
He is a viperous toad-spotted canker-blossom
Now onto the bag dutton 2 minutes
How predictable
we are getting closer to TDS..
Andy capp knows shit.
Bin lid spars with fat & Red about knifing turdbull
They are both viperous toad-spotted canker-blossoms
I dont think ive seen such high density, viscous bollocks.
Lass studied theatre in Bathurst – well that’s a good career move.
You pribbling hedge-born pignut
Surely Trumble is Macbeth?
Dutton would be Brutus
Waiting for the fat bint in red to tell us the great aboriginal playwrights before 1788
Her friends don’t come to see her shows-no shit Sherlock-ever wondered why?
Shylock?
Panel struggles with the suggestion that they are expensive privaliged and marginal, all at once.
Sounds like they are not saying anything anyone cant actualy deconstruct. What is the collective IQ, do you think? Is Jones compare?
Brutus works better.
can not cant
Just into double figures.
Get out of your bubble by entering a pop-up globe bubble.
“theater is like sex “….. well at the Shaft cinema in Melbourne it was ..
Ahh, Carpe, the pain, the pain, the excruciating pain. Not going in there.
A fat abo, no one has ever heard of talks about her “career”.
Who knew having fries with that was a career move.
Bird in red illustrates theatre is like pubs……
Trying comedy again
Failing badly
…except people go to pubs.
Bit harsh on old Shylock there
The dude with the bin lid hat, is it just me or does anyone else want to slap him on the head Benny Hill style.
Cats … it’s unwatchable. As soon as whitesplaining got a mention (1st question) I knew it was going to be way too much crap. Don’t do it.
I reckon they should build a permanent Globe theatre in Alice with free grog. Take it out of the ABC budget. Whole new audience.
Increase audience by giving away tickets. Lots of jaffa rollers in the audience.
OPM makes it work.
Speaking of grog, Kirbys got shut down for two days in Katherine – it has been wonderful, no antisocial behaviour. Peace and quiet.
Fuck me they are obsessed with race.
I’ve had 3 brandies and damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.
Questioner likes her own voice.
Ikatharra diversity theatre
The beardy weirdy is full of shit.
Simple things can be made complicated.
I am learning this like never before.
A national indigenous theater company, what will they call it?
The Grievance Goon Bag Auditorium.
Fatso in red-‘history is often told by the vicar’-she actually said this?
Mt Isa always used to put on a good show under the bridge nightly, weather permitting.
Can aboriginal people ever understand a play about medieval Scottish kings?
C’mon fat&red, there must be some great indigene playwrights in the last 60,000 fucking years.
Just one you bloated great Yak
Fat&Red thinks as an artist
You are an artist – then paint my house bitch – h/t Gene Simmons
Dont write off interpretive dance Carpe.
Stimpy knows this.
Oh oh. Difficult metoo question.
Swampy moves onto the #metoo thing.
Bunhead mentions bullying
These people are deluded
NPC Lui runs every topic through a complicating indigenous function.
Interpretive dance is epilepsy with a soundtrack.
So many words, so little meaning.
Harsh, but fair.
So the #metoo luvvies are talking about bullying – not the Weinstein effect.
Pussies.
This panel – tongueless boil-brained clack-dishes
Heavy duty stuff.
Bun Head plays the victim card – a spongey onion-eyed boar-pig
Two clans, feuding since the mid 1960’s should have no difficulty in understanding “Romeo and Juliette.”
6 minutes to go
Thank you God
Thou adulterate fool-born lewdster!
Goodness me… this is making no sense at all.
Fat & Red is still playing the victim card, she must be fun at parties
Onto Geoffrey Rush
Neil suddenly finds a need to be circumspect in his opinion.
They really are poor unfortunate tragics.
Neil – Thou greasy clay-brained scurvy-knave
Fat & Red – Thou meddling beef-witted mangy-dog
Who wolf whistled you luv ? When ?
Fat & Red – Thou paunchy hag-born odiferous stench
Goddam i like that one.
Some blind guy in 1992, he was actually calling his seeing eye dog.
Even Shakespeare’s insults are not hard enough for that level of stupid.
Who wolf whistled you luv ? When ?
When too much cleavage is barely enough for her.
This panel – jarring beetle-headed incontinent varlets
Carpe, my compliments and thanks. I’ve bookmarked your link to Shakespearean insults.
Well Troops – the interruptions came in at 8
Goddam it i will go broke on the prize jackpots
I’m done troops
Oyasumi Nasai
Finish with an interpretive dance.
Hmm
Thou gleeking open-arsed scut!
Eye bleach
Thanks Carpe.
My Lord give me strength.
Thanks Carpe.
Thank you Carpe .. I am sure you will get a mention in the Queen’s birthday honors list for tonight.
If you watched this sober and understood it, you are now officially retarded – those luvvies made no sense whatsoever (in the couple of minutes I watched before I saved myself)!
Chapeau to Carpe, who at least numbed his senses with alcohol, and watched from a distance.
Thanks Carpe.
Domo arigatoo, Carpe-san
Looks like the achievers of nothing need to pull down Shakespeare – how magnificent.
Tx, diehard Cats, for watching which means I don’t explode and destroy the TV. Russell Award for commentary goes to Carpe!
Brutus works better.
Iago
Interpretive dance is epilepsy with a soundtrack.
Peter Garrett style to the soundtrack of Midnight Solarpanel.
Well done girls and boys. I am glad I didn’t have to come off the bench for that one last night.
I don’t watch Q&A but hear that the word whitesplaining was used to describe Shakespeare. That’s a wind up isn’t it?
From the Q&A website:
Zindzi is a NIDA graduate, performing in Sydney Theatre Company, Belvoir, and Bell Shakespeare productions.
She has been a regular Play School host for the past five years.
