My favorite Shakespearean play has my favorite Three Witches. They are deliciously evil.
“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.“ 🖤🧹🖤

If you ever wondered where Roz in The Wild Robot got her name, this is it. This play written in 1920 about the rise of an army of robots, and the extinction of the human race was revolutionary for its time. It has tons of melodrama, and the one woman in it certainly feels like a fake character that all the men can‘t help but fall in love with, but there are some excellent sci-fi themes about man‘s hubris that stand the test of time.

Fun read and listen ❤️‍🔥

“Don‘t feed the plants.” I had a blast watching my local high school‘s production of Little Shop of Horrors today.

We had a fun night out at the theatre last night.

I‘ve never read the play but now I want to see the Hitchcock film!

Felt like the right week to start reading this🤭🫧🧡

Stefan Zweig's autobiography led me to poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal's play Electra, which I borrowed from the library and started reading last night. It was turned into an opera by Strauss. I am listening to it on deezer, but it's not grabbing me so far. Any tips or info to help ease me into it? A passage to look forward to? A recording that's less strident than the one I am listening to? I'm OK with modernist music, so that's not it 😊

she‘s not crazy — she‘s
just been in a very bad
mood for forty years!

I saw the play years ago and enjoyed it. Just as dramatic as I remember.
