Welcome to Litsy!

Watching the Christmas Eve Carol service from Westminster Cathedral while reading this memoir of an amazing singer.

I picked up an old “Canadian Educational Edition“ of this play about the murder of Thomas Becket. The notes helped but I expect I still missed a good number of references in Eliot's verse. The story was seasonal, as the drama took place during the Yuletide season.

Oh yes, she will!

I forgot to take a picture, but my #winternaturecardswap cards are in the mail. And I got to read a chapter of my book while waiting in line for stamps! 🥰 My apologies for being a little late - hopefully it just extends the joy.

Thanks to @Andrea313 for this #BlameItOnLitsy success! I really enjoyed these deep dives into Sondheim's works, especially when I disagreed with the author. 😂 (He is just so wrong about the Baker's Wife, I mean seriously!) I'm not familiar with Sondheim's later musicals but enjoyed the chapters nonetheless. The audiobook is a pleasant listen.

Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent, by Judi Dench and Brendan O‘Hea (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: One of our greatest living actors reflects on her career and Shakespeare‘s plays.

Review: I mean… This is just perfect. I‘m a respecter of Shakespeare far more than a lover, but this made me wish I loved him as much as the authors do. ⬇️
