Last night was the second meeting of Shakespeare Project.  We did some improv which was much fun!  Some of us chose our scenes, but most of us will be deciding next week.

Here is a link to all of Shakespeare's work absoluteshakespeare.com

Check this out.  A toddler learning "To be or not to be".
Read the comments too.  My favorite
"Wonderful! My mother used to have my sister and me quote lines from various Shakespeare plays, but I think we were a bit older, maybe 4 and 5. She used to have us say to strangers "I see thy nose, but not the dog I shall throw it to."

Nothing like Shakespeare to add class to an insult.

Shakespeare Valentine

Wednesday February 10, 2010

Valentine's Day and Shakespeare always go hand in hand. After all, the Bard did pen the world's best-known love poem: "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" (Sonnet 18).
This year Vook, an innovative ebook publisher, have released Love, Love, Love: Shakespeare in the City. This special Valentine's Day vook combines ten of Shakespeare's sonnets with video.
To launch their new ebook, Vook are hosting a Twitter competition. Followers can tweet a love poem (with a #vook hashtag) and be in with a chance of winning a free copy of the new Shakespeare ebook.
Good Luck!
