March 23 is Talk Like Shakespeare Day! The famous playwright was very influenced by commedia dell'arte including the fanciful commedia pastorale. Here is a line from the witches in the "Scottish Play" (ACT IV Scene 1) that... well if you love performing and merriment could be seen as motivational!

"Come, sisters, cheer we up his sprites,
And show the best of our delights:
I'll charm the air to give a sound,
While you perform your antic round." --William Shakespeare

All the world's a stage, right? So here are all the plays of #Shakespeare painted as a schematic #map to show approximately the place where Will set them. As I too was born and bred in #StratforduponAvon, this painting is my love letter from a Stratford girl to a Stratford boy.

Which Shakespeare did you "do" at school? I did Midsummer Night's Dream, but my fave play is King Lear. Oooh, such violence and pathos! It's like a Nordic Noir TV drama.

Can anyone think of a word that rhymes with “prithee” which isn’t “privy”?

Think but this, & all is mended,
That you have but slumb’red here
While these visions did appear…
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends
