If We Shadows Have Offended [Shakespeare For You]

🎭 If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumb’red here,While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend,If you pardon, we will mend.And as I am an honest Puck,If we have unearned luckNow to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,We will make amends ere long;Else the Puck a liar call.So, good night…

Donkey Work

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Thursday 29th February 2024 Among Shakespeare’s works, this romantic comic fantasy ranks as one of his greatest hits, and done well, it’s easy to see why. It’s also something that in the wrong hands, can be rather twee. Eleanor Rhode’s new production dispenses with the forest – even the fairies are reduced to tiny orbs…

A Midsummer Night's Dream - William Shakespeare

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. I actually liked this play. I’ve never wanted to read Shakespeare before and I’ve never liked his poetry but this play. Wow *_*! Amazing playwright! ‘The Tempest’ is next on my list! I bought this copy from Book Depository Synopsis: Hermia and Lysander run away in protest after Hermia’s father (Egeus) disapproves of them getting married. Demetrius runs after them…

Listen here and come to know how Gentleman Bill Jaggard, the most polite pirate to ever sail the Summer Ocean, became a consort to a Storm Goddess, a pawn of the Mists and a wraith on the Dread Seas. When he was living he robbed the Summer Queen’s ships for the better part of a year. Her majesty put a price on his head, demanding that he be brought to her alive. The Queen wanted him alive as a…

Bard Bits: Will's Politics

Bard Bits: Will’s Politics

Shakespeare’s stated politics are not overtly known; however, some ideas can be gathered from his plays with some sleuthing, and a small bit of supposition. For instance, his thoughts on the ruling class come through as somewhat mocking in the Henry plays, with the heir apparent, Henry IV, carousing with rowdies and hanging out in taverns, while portraying King Lear as being irresponsible with…

Happy 457th Birthday, William Shakespeare! 8 Films Adapted From His Plays

Happy 457th Birthday, #WilliamShakespeare! 8 Films Adapted From His Plays

With the 457th birthday of William Shakespeare this month, I decided it would be a good time to take a look at his (many) contributions to popular culture. Many English teachers or instructors might have a sculpted bust of William Shakespeare, but I’ve always liked the feel of plush toys. I call the fellow seen above “Squishy Bill”. I particularly like his velvety purple doublet. Squishy Bill is…

Greece is the Word

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Gatehouse Theatre, Stafford, Wednesday 28th June 2023 Greece-on-Sea makes more sense as a setting for Shakespeare’s Dream, than for Mamma Mia, and with the added period touch (it’s the 1930s) the stage is set for an atmospheric, evocative show. Actor-musicians add to the mood, and there’s a lengthy dumb show sequence, an overture to set the scene and to transport us…
