Steve Speirs: Burbage

Quotes 

• Burbage : Thank you. Most impressive. He has exactly what it takes to be a star these days. There's no doubting that.

  Will Shakespeare : Are you mad? He's just a weird-looking Eton boy with a rather pretentious name.

  Burbage : As I said, he has exactly what it takes to be a star these days.

• Burbage : Romeo and Juliet be the title roles.

  Will Shakespeare : What? Oh, I see, you're working off that draft. Oh, that's all changed.

  Burbage : What's changed?

  Will Shakespeare : The title. It's not called 'Romeo and Juliet' any more. It's called 'Prince Escalus and the Nurse'.

• Burbage : Kempe's line was rather more succinct. Yours is a tad obscure.

  Condell : Oh, very obscure.

  Kempe : Like, mad obscure.

  Will Shakespeare : It's not obscure at all. It's as clear as fairy snot.
