Just a way for a theatre enthusiast and practitioner to fight off cabin fever and hopefully spread some ultimately good thoughts in this uncertain, trying time.

Sonnet 30  3/24/20

In the continued efforts against idleness.  Trying to find situation appropriate material to try out.  I know the situation in context is arguably more dire than what what many of us are experiencing, but still Shakespeare tends to be so comprehensive that in even far less likely pieces than this, he'll have written something that chimes with your current thoughts and feelings.

Richard II 5.5

With everything going on in the world to day, it is all too easy to feel like a stranger.  A stranger to your community, your country, your fellow human, and even to yourself.  Though seemingly higher or more influential powers have wrought this feeling, it falls to each of us in our own way to reaffirm the simple truth that this need not, should not be so.  Now is no longer a time, as Shakespeare also said in AS YOU LIKE IT, to "desire we may be better strangers", but to say to one another in earnest, "I must love you and sue to know you better."  Where are we left otherwise?  Where can we go?  Who...what...are we?
