Welcome to Litsy!

It's been some years since I read Shakespeare and I honestly couldn't remember reading this one so I gave it a shot and for a short play, I found it to be slightly boring.
Maybe it's the pacing at the beginning but I found it to be messy and in some areas dull where in others slightly racist and pompous.

Thanks @SerialReader for helping me knock a book of my TBR 💕

This was fun, there were so many here I have not got around to reading and it was a good reminder, and by sheer coincidence I will soon be reading An of the People, translation by Arthur Miller. I am really excited about this one as I didn't even know I had it and found it in one of my anthologies as I was looking through the content.

Rereading
People might think I'm cr**y with all the smiling to myself while reading 😊

So true bestie

My January #Roll100 picks. I think I'm going to start with the tagged book, as I think my Shakespeare knowledge is lacking. Maybe I should've started a Shakespeare book club instead of the one I currently run lol. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

I found this to be a wonderful, thought-provoking play, which did take me several attempts to see the nuances but I‘m glad I kept trying.

Busting out those theatre student skills to revisit Lear before going back to Private Rites (one time I read 2-3 plays after a late night rehearsal 🙃)

Lol. I love this.

Finished my first TBR read of the year!

Families are complex and this audiobook of the Broadway recording showcases the complexion of the Younger family, an African American family with dreams of more.

I borrowed the audiobook which was performed by the original Broadway Cast and to hear the different emotions and the tension filled pauses during the different peaks of the play was fantastic. I would definitely want to see this play for myself.
