Summary

The author’s remembrance of actors speaking in Shakespearean plays is one of loss but also of delight. Memory, as Virgil put it (‘forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit’), may bring pleasure or benefit or help, depending on how iuvabit is translated. For Virgil, memory may be therapeutic and/or affective, as Shakespeare knew as he reworked Virgil’s phrase. But the pleasure of remembering Shakespeare is palpable in the voices of the people interviewed in Cecilia Rubino’s documentary film, Remembering Shakespeare (2016), and in the laughter memory generates in Thomas Tomkis’s play Lingua (1607), the records of what Simon Forman wanted to remember of performances he had seen and in the diary comments on plays seen by Samuel Pepys.
