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 🙃)

Trojan Women | Euripides

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.

Romeo & Juliet | William Shakespeare
post image

I took my 9 year old to her first musical today at the Kennedy Center. We saw &Juliet, she loved it. It‘s the story of what happened if Juliet survived (with Shakespeare‘s wife, Anne, rewriting the story). It was a great show, highly recommend. After we met a lot of the cast. They were kind enough to take photos & sign her poster. They were all so nice. It was a great introduction to the theater for her.

It caught him back to the dreadful moment in the lodge when, raising himself up from Rainer‘s side, he had looked at his hands and seen that they were red…

As a history buff, I was surprised to learn about the handcart companies the Mormons formed to trek through the plans and Rocky Mountains to settle in the Salt Lake Valley, aka Zion, as they called it. This book is about the women journeying through as part of the Martin Company, those who saw the worst tragedies because they started out too late and found themselves dealing with an horrific blizzard. Definitely a great read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Romeo and Juliet (Updated) | William Shakespeare
post image

Two weeks ago, I saw the new Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet, so of course I had to revisit the source material beforehand! Like a million others, R&J was my introduction to Shakespeare. I don't love this play but I'm grateful for the teacher who made my 6th grade class read it. It made me a stronger, more confident reader in general and got me curious enough to seek out more of Shakespeare's work, enriching my whole life as a result. ❤️
