And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Went to see Much Ado About Nothing at the Stratford Festival Theatre

"Cry God for Harry, England and St George!" -William Shakespeare

Happy Birthday! Recently enjoyed Much Ado and may see The Tempest with Olympia Dukakis this summer too.

On his birthday. To be or not to be and all that jazz

If this be error, and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. #nowreading

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Shakespeare. He is one of the best writers of the English language. Romeo and Juliet is my favorite tragedy and play. A Midsummer Night's Dream is my favorite comedy. Sonnet 116 is my favorite sonnet. I have it memorized.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Just watched a horrible movie called Anonymous that destroys Shakespeare as if the author of the movie has a personal vendetta sonI thought I'd check in to Will as a way of saying "I love you and I don't think you're the illiterate nutcase portrayed in the movie". I believe William Shakespeare is the greatest play-write ever to have lived. And I believe he was an actual person, not a collection of ghost writers.

Dear Mr. Shakespeare, you write the best insults. Here's a recap of some of your finest gems: pernicious caitiff, wicked varlot, injurious maid, rash wanton. Love, Christina

I am going to see his opera " Macbeth". Is it also masterpiece ?

I read his poem "Romeo and Julie". it is so interesting. One of the best writers in my home library. :D

Re-reading the comedies. I'd forgotten that Double Falsehood is actually fairly charming.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

Hope my sore throat calms down before we start filming the #Sonnets

What I learned from shakespeare, every time the weather changes in a show or a movie, I know something is going down.

None of it makes sense!! A pile of crap!

Watch original Romeo and Juliet, Surprised I knew most of the lines:)
