Shylock Is My Name | Howard Jacobson

Modern re-telling of “The Merchant of Venice“ transposed to Cheshire explores antisemitism but I was never really sure whether Shylock was really there or just a mental construct of Simon Strulovitch's.

Fools and Mortals | Bernard Cornwell

pick

July reading done!! The winner this month was Fools and Mortals. I don‘t know why I was drawn to this book but I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the banter of all the characters. The Likeness was a close 2nd and The Kingdom of Sweets came in last. Beginning vacay in 2 days and headed to South Dakota. Whoot Whoot!!

Much Adoe about Nothing | William Shakespeare

I could have caught up on the #CampLitsy25 read for discussion, but instead I went to a local OPS showing of the tagged. The actors do things as close to Shakespeare's days as they can - they do not rehearse, carry scrolls with their lines and cues, gender bend (but this is PDX so don't we all normally?), They also have a guy with a whistle who calls our lines when needed and stops everything when a plane goes overhead.

Blueberry Sounds like fun. 4w

Suet624 Fantastic! 4w

DebinHawaii That sounds like so much fun! 😆 3w

Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale | William Shakespeare

so-so

The Winter‘s Tale, by William Shakespeare (ca. 1610)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A paranoid tyrant destroys his family and friendships, but everything works out in the end.

Review: I‘m slowly working my way through Shakespeare‘s catalog, and have to say this was my least favourite so far. The plot depends on a wholly unmotivated turn by a main character, whip then disappears for the meat of his narrative arc, only to reappear in time for a happy ending. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday This means that we don‘t get to witness his character development, how he came to his repentance and grief over his actions and therefore narratively earn his happy ending. Shakespeare is Shakespeare, and there are some truly lovely speeches in here, as well as some fun comedic relief. But as a play, this didn‘t really cohere and so fell a bit flat for me. 1mo

Graywacke I adore this play. But i get it 5d

King Lear | William Shakespeare

The perfect night! No stars because the lawn performance we saw began at 5:30. But the evening was lovely- low 80s, breezy, sun with billowy clouds.This summer event has become a tradition for my former, several years retired, HS English co-teacher & me. We each brought picnic food to share & caught up with each other during intermission. 💜💜💜

Ruthiella What fun! 🤩 1mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳💝💝💝. 1mo
