My January #Roll100 picks. I think I'm going to start with the tagged book, as I think my Shakespeare knowledge is lacking. Maybe I should've started a Shakespeare book club instead of the one I currently run lol. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

I found this to be a wonderful, thought-provoking play, which did take me several attempts to see the nuances but I‘m glad I kept trying.
Busting out those theatre student skills to revisit Lear before going back to Private Rites (one time I read 2-3 plays after a late night rehearsal 🙃)
pickWhen you prepare your lessons with one edition and your students receive another edition… 🙈😤🙈
This definitely an interesting play about the hovering danger of an atomic bomb in the 70ies. I don‘t think it‘s funny, as it is declared a comedy, but definitely worth reading/watching. And unfortunately, it is quite up-to-dare again.
Dürrenmatt did write the 11th hour on the atomic clock directly into our memory - with satanic, ridiculous laughter.

Reading this for the second time, was as hard as the first. Through Hecuba‘s agony, Euripides shows the senselessness of war. Her voice is also the voice of the surviving women, and its truly awful, but I‘m still glad I read this. What stands out for me is the women‘s strength. They have been through so much and yet they are not broken.

pickFinished my first TBR read of the year!
Families are complex and this audiobook of the Broadway recording showcases the complexion of the Younger family, an African American family with dreams of more.
I borrowed the audiobook which was performed by the original Broadway Cast and to hear the different emotions and the tension filled pauses during the different peaks of the play was fantastic. I would definitely want to see this play for myself.
