Hey Littens,
I hope the motivation to read some classics is not affected by the heat (at least over here in Germany it is very, very hot). 🥵🌴
For the 3rd quarter, we'll tackle some stage writing!
Grab some lemonade, enjoy and tag me in your posts!☀️🏖

so-soDefinitely displays what life can be when someone is not in tune with what is important in life. It‘s not about how much you make, or the prestige that one has, it‘s not about what others think about you, it‘s about close relationships with the people you love and fulfilling quality time and memories with them. Call off, turn off the television, go to the beach, and read a good book. Don‘t dwell on the past and enjoy the present.
#JuneSpecials Picnic. When I looked up songs that deal with picnic, thus song was included. I don't see it, but since Led Zeppelin is the best group ever! I'll take their word for it. Ha! Dwyer Mak'er @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickElizabeth Rex, by Timothy Findley (2000 🇨🇦)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: On the night before her lover is put to death on her orders, a restless Queen Elizabeth I spends time with William Shakespeare‘s troupe and gets into a battle of wits about the performance of gender with a man who has spent his whole career in drag.
Review: This is probably my favourite play-as-literature thus far. Cont.

so-soThere were some interesting and enlightening moments, but it didn‘t feel very profound to me. It‘s about a mom, son, and daughter. The son works at a warehouse but his head is in the movies and poetry and the clouds. The daughter is debilitatingly shy, has uneven legs, and only cares for her glass menagerie and Victrola. The mom is overly ambitious for the both of them.
Sunday theatre with Daisy-May, who‘s decided she‘s tired of being upright and would like to sprawl on her awful couch for a few hours, thanks.
(The STORIES I could tell you about this couch! It‘s an atrocity. Those leather couches people leave by the curb as freebies and nobody ever actually picks up because they‘re AWFUL are nicer than this late Victorian piece to which my aunt is hopelessly attached.)
