Guardian article on the death of actor Anthony Sher

Here's a very nice article about Anthony Sher, actor and Shakespearean, who died recently at the age of 72. // This piece reveals how important it is for anyone - actors, scholars, many others - not to be satisfied with the great insights or great performances of past generations, because they can be roadblocks to new progress and new insights. Poet, translator and men's movement figure Robert Bly, who also passed recently, also emphasized how it's the duty of each generation to sift through the achievements of past poets and literary figures, to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to transcend the achievements of the past. Anthony Sher's life and career seems to have demonstrated this. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2021/dec/03/antony-sher-a-consummate-shakespearean-and-a-man-of-staggering-versatility
