Holy moly, I was so proud and excited to see high school kids get really into Shakespeare yesterday! But all the presentations on Romeo and Juliet made me want to go back to Verona. Romeo and Juliet used to be my very least favorite play. I’ve been rereading it, and I hate to admit that it’s growing on me. Dirty jokes! Love! Murder! What more can you ask for?

Also, happy birthday to the Bard.
