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
(often referred to by actors, for superstitious reasons,
as "the Scottish Play" or "Mackers") --
Ha! Ha! On the out spot!

ReplyDeleteSchool was easier when you didn't have to study Shakespeare!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the question, whether to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
ReplyDeleteTo 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
