Welcome to Litsy!

Earlier this week I went to see Macbeth with David Tennant and Cush Jumbo at the cinema. The staff was handing out there free postcards as we went in the theater!
This production was amazing and I loved the music and set, but I think The Tempest is still my favorite. Which is your favorite Shakespeare play?

Macbeth
Much Ado About Nothing
Paradise Lost

I guess I like old stories. #TLT @dabbe thank you for the tag!

Yay! So excited this is back to refocus goals in a fun personal challenge. I would like to finish a few books before the end of the month, but I also want to finish some books before the end of the year because they have been on my list for much of the year. Macbeth, Mansfield Park, So Thirsty, The Wife Between Us, Down the Rabbit Hole, Page, Nancy Drew 13 being top of my list. #20in4 @Andrew65

I listened to this great theatrical reading of Macbeth, as 2 hours in 4 readathons. — I‘m now getting to my points updates, in the next post. I had 10 pumpkin carvings (within the last week) and posting a few 😄🎃 movie mentions in the comments:

The only comic relief in MACBETH. 🤩🤣🤗
The shortest play by Shakespeare; my version is 163 pages w/ notes.

If this wasn‘t the next book club selection I never would have picked it up. I have never been a Shakespeare fan and I don‘t like reading plays. At least the snack was good and the company is cute. (Terra is just here for the popcorn 🍿🤣)

One of my favorite soliloquies. 💜

'Her husband's to Aleppo gone
Master o the Tiger
But in a sieve I'd thither sail
And like a rat without a tail
I'll do I'II do and I'II do.‘

The three witches from The Scottish Play by William Shakespeare

Rereading this one to be able to teach it soon. It's been a while since I read this play (when I read it before, I was in high school), but I enjoyed the story more now that I am older and have an even greater appreciation for Shakespeare.

Had to share this but from Macbeth for “cauldron” #poetrymatters @Eggs @TheSpineView #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

A little later than usual, but my April TBR is finally ready!

@TheAromaofBooks

I played Banquo and the Porter in my college‘s production!

#scarathlon #photochallenge #cauldron @linsy

#Haunted One of my favorite scenes in Macbeth is when the #ghost of Banquo appears at the banquet, and Macbeth is the only one who can see him.
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

This was a really good play, I started today sometime very early in the morning, and finished before my first lesson started. There is a lot of death in this play, but otherwise it‘s very good!

False face must hide what the false heart Doth know.

So exited to start this one! Hope it‘s good 🤞

Witches tell Macbeth that he will be the king and encouraged by his wife, Macbeth kills king Duncan, and becomes the new king. Then a war happens to overthrow Macbeth, resulting in his death and the throne being taken by Malcolm. This book shows power and Macbeth facing the consequences for abusing his power as king and killing all those people and subjects family. I like books about gore and blood and medieval times.

Macbeth, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare, is considered one of his darkest and most powerful works. Set in Scotland, the play dramatizes the corrosive psychological and political effects produced when evil is chosen as a way to fulfil the ambition for power.The play is believed to have been written between 1599 and 1606, and is most commonly dated 1606.

One of the most famous spells in literature, has to be the one spoken by the three witches in Macbeth. Even if you don‘t know the whole speech, you probably know “Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.” Macbeth is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, how bout you? A favorite witch though is Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer #TeamStoker #ChillingPhotoChallenge #Scarathlon (1 pt earned)

Macbeth:

Lady Macbeth:
“We fail?
But screw your courage to the sticking place,
And we'll not fail.”

"Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

then, 'tis time to do't. - Hell is murky! - Fie, my
lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we
fear who knows it, when none can call our power to
account? - Yet who would have thought the old man
to have had so much blood in him.”

Found this great audio version of MacBeth from the library. What‘s even better, it‘s got Eddie from Taking Over the Asylum (Ken Stott) as MacBeth.

Why is it that everything I love about Shakespeare always comes back around to David Tennant?

#shakespeare #macbeth #kenstott #davidtennant #audiobook

I love Macbeth in all its chaos and its passion, but this was a TERRIBLE production. The actors sounded like they were reading the ingredients on a bottle of shampoo, and the audio was of that lovely vintage “ten people standing around a cassette recorder but mostly speaking away from the mic” quality. The play is awesome, the production was crap.

Macbeth t-shirt from Litograph. Weird Sisters on the front. Crown on the back. The whole thing is printed using the text of the play.

They have many awesome products printed this way - shirts, scarves, totes, and posters. The posters are permanently 50% off if you are an educator or librarian.

Day 16 (I forgot to do so many days, so late!)

Tragic: Macbeth! It‘s also tragic because I argued with my APLit teacher in 12th grade over this wonderful work of literature for 10 minutes because I said that I believed Lady Macbeth was controlling and manipulating Macbeth‘s actions throughout the end of the story, and she disliked my essay about Lady Macbeth the temptress. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This gorgeous edition of Macbeth from Signature Shakespeare is absolutely stunning. The laser cut illustrations are beautiful. Blaming @ScorpioBookDreams for my latest purchases 💕

Leave it to Lady MacBeth to disparage the good parts of being #human. #quotsymarch18 @TK-421

I love the kids that are speaking up and trying to disrupt the current political idiocy and change American gun laws. But y‘all...

I loved it! Shakespeare has always been scary but this showed me how amazing he can be! I can‘t wait to watch the movie and read more plays.
