She gave so much to so many.

Farewell to Tina Packer, the English-born founder of Shakespeare & Company. Visiting her theater in Lenox, Mass., was long one of my summer highlights. Her work brimmed with energy, wit and a vital command of the language that made Shakespeare make sense to anyone who listened.

So great. I love when people have and use access to Shakespeare without being overwhelmed by the status quo of education. I believe it was for the public and that’s why it continues to evolve with our societies.

The @nytimes review of “Bug” on Broadway was great and now I have a great desire to see it.

decided to start the year’s reading with Jude the Obscure, because I haven’t read a Hardy since my teens, and I think this might be the most relentlessly bleak novel I’ve ever read. I feel its utter nihilism is really unmatched in British literature at the time. What was he on?

Happy Twelfth Night to all.

Today is Twelfth Night, the eve of the Epiphany. It's a time for festivities marking the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas, and the transition from midwinter into the new year: parties, king-cakes, fire rituals, and wassailing to waken the trees from their winter sleep.

Maybe she’s a Commedia dell’arte fan?

In the café attached to our offices there is an Italian lady who calls me 'dottore'. She knows that I work for the Salvation Army rather than at the large hospital nearby, but my PhD is not on my work ID badge. A nickname based on my general demeanour? I don't know. Rum.

Guidarius and Arviragus and their hijinks with Belarius.

Ok -- Shakespeare characters who could have had their own spin-off. Go. Malvolio's an obvious answer, and Caliban. The Porter would be a great one, too.
