“The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud, if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair, if they were not cherished by our virtues.”

~ William Shakespeare, from All’s Well That Ends Well

i’m not saying that fixation on any play is good sign but there’s something particularly alarming about getting stuck on hamlet

You are a saucy boy.

-Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

just watched it & now i ship hermia x helena :3 also all in all just a stunning production. I'm quite impressed i must say

Julie Taymor’s filmed version of the play she debuted at Brooklyn’s Theater for a New Audience in 2013. In this splendid production, a reverie of love, lust, infatuation, and desire, the charmed Puck—in the visage of a Chaplinesque character—manipulates young lovers through a night of magical excitement and quintessential poetry.

Wanted to share these frames from the RSC 2017 production of the Tempest because I feel like they'd make for a good meme format(s).
