#brevity2016

You heard it here first - no. Second. Twitter heard about it first.

This is my Shakespeare project.

Sure. Lots of people have had Shakespeare projects*, but this is mine.

Wherein I shall:

1) Read all of Shakespeare's plays in the course of one year fourteen months. (More on the change in a moment.)

2) Watch an interpretation of each play, most likely a movie or recording of a stage performance.

3) See as many live performances as possible. (This is the reason for fourteen months - I get to do the festival season twice to help out with this.)

4) Supplement the 37** plays with contemporary works, criticisms, biographies, etc. As much as I can stomach, really.

5) Pilgrimage to one Shakespeare holy site.

6) More to be added if I think of anything.

*Three among many sites I've bookmarked in the last day.
**We can argue about this later.
