It's brilliant. If you haven't, you must.
If you won't, you suck.
I suppose I should just spit it out: Happy New Year.
I'm not particularly excited or hopefuly about anything. It's still just time: yesterday, today and tomorrow.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
- Shakespeare
from Macbeth Act 5, Scene 5; 19 - 28.
Let's argue about something! Which do you think is the best play Shakespeare ever wrote?
I say King Lear. I've not read all Shakey's plays, though... but currently, I say King Lear
For those of you that do new year's resolutions (and actually stick to them haha), add 'read or watch in theatre at least one shakespeare play'.
