I saw the play years ago and enjoyed it. Just as dramatic as I remember.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
bailedI 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. ?❤️
Today is not only the anniversary of a horrible day in US history, it‘s also my mother‘s birthday. We lost her several years ago, and Litsy was wonderfully supportive at the time. @Chrissyreadit suggested that I share something special about her, so here goes.
I still think of her often and the influence she had on my life. When I was in high school, she thought it was important that I have some “culture” in my life, so she bought us ⬇️
It‘s here!! National Book Awards longlist week!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Today‘s lists are translated lit and young people‘s lit (you‘ll have to go their website for the latter, which I don‘t follow). I‘ve actually read 2 of these, the Kang and Hunchback, and the Balle and Barrera don‘t release until November, which is always frustrating. I am loving the cover of Sleep Phase and We Computers only has 3 ratings on Goodreads, so I love seeing it elevated here.
pickMost of us know the story line and the outcome and the rave reviews of the wonderful Jodie Cromer she also narrates the audiobook Iv switched between the two , great writing a great story and sadly shockingly true 1 in 3 and how bloody brave those women are no means no
On a spa 🧖♀️ break at the amazing Ragdale hall with my dearest friend quality time together and a good book 📕 alternating between reading the actual book 📕 and audio narrated by the wonderfully talented Jodie Cromer it‘s fantastic, audio books are a hit and miss for me depending who is narrating them
oh, what‘s in a name?
a tale of woe — Juliet
and her Romeo.
