It‘s hard to get into reading Shakespeare. My 9th grader is reading this next semester, so I dragged myself through the 92 pages. I‘ll have to watch a movie or go see the play…

I saw the most incredible adaptation of Hamlet last night. I had no idea that I was buying tickets to a wordless ballet, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm struggling to describe the genius of Guillaume Cote and his company, and I fear I won't do it justice if I try. Just know that I've never been so sucked into a performance that I didn't want to risk looking away even for a moment. I'm very grateful that they decided to come through our town.

My favorite Shakespearean play has my favorite Three Witches. They are deliciously evil.
“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.“ 🖤🧹🖤

I made another attempt at reading this classic and I so badly wanted to like it and I couldn‘t even finish it. I know I‘m a minority in this but I‘ve always thought Ibsen was a better playwright.

I‘m in Stratford Ontario this week, enjoying the theatre festival. Today‘s our last day, with As You Like It and Danté‘s Inferno on the agenda. Favourite so far is a difficult choice, but I think I will never again see such a remarkable production of Macbeth as Robert Lepage‘s, which is set amidst a biker gang in the 1990s. ?❤️

oh, what‘s in a name?
a tale of woe — Juliet
and her Romeo.
