April 23 is believed by many scholars to have been both
Shakespeare's date of birth in 1564 and his date of death in 1616.
That is why on today's date the world celebrates the Bard of Avon!
The rest of this post pays tribute to his play Macbeth

as "the Scottish Play" or "Mackers") --

Ha! Ha! On the out spot!
...thanks, I didn't know that it was "Shakespeare Day" today!
The MacBath!
School was easier when you didn't have to study Shakespeare!!
That is the question, whether to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
To do to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream,
aye, there is the rub for in the sleep of death what dreams may come.
That is about all of the Shakespeare I remember from high school. Enough, probably more than many.
Hahaha
The Macbeth Cleaners!!
Also, Thou art hot? *cackles*
XOXO
Four hundred plus years are we’re still talking about him! Quite the writer!
Good ones.
I think Miss Robinson and I have a lot in common. I would have loved having her teach me Shakespeare:)
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come
Wonderful memes! Happy Shakespeare Day!
Especially loved 'Thou art hot' the theatre review headline, the schoolroom door... oh hell, they were all great!
Have you read 'Hamnet'? It was excellent!
Cheers!
@ e -- I have not read "Hamnet," but I really should. I just put it on my "to read" list! Thanks for the recommendation.
2B or not 2B!

Two bee or not...very good.
Good ones!
I'm not usually on top of cultural dates, but had read about Shakespeare's death anniversary in the morning paper.
I think ol' Will himself would have found those funny.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
The door scares me a little, the bees excited me.
I really like Shakespeare's quote:
Love all, trust few, harm none.
The blackout is my favorite work of Shakespeare EVER! 😂
I don't know how you keep us entertained at such a high quality, unique level.
I guess that was one thing Shakespeare was lucky for - he didn't have to learn Shakespeare.
Cheers and be well!
LOL, I kind of want that bar of soap
Love the soap. People are so clever thinking these things up.
Your witty post made my brain clear.
I hope forests don't go away under the influence of global heating.
