On its 75th anniversary, I wrote about Laurence Olivier's innovative Hamlet, and how its #FilmNoir and #horror influences helped make the first time #Hamlet was filmed in sound into something special: https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/william-shakespeare/hamlet-laurence-olivier-film-noir-ghost

Does a #KingsLynn incident appear in one of #Shakespeare's greatest plays? (#Hamlet)

I might write a follow up blog post about this, but staged, premeditated madness is still madness. I read about it in #Hamlet, and now I see it in #KanyeWest, #KyrieIrving, #ScottAdams, and too many others.

Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 32 of 37:

#Hamlet is the most famous play in the English language and it earns its superstardom...very long, it's a complex serpentine revenge story with a multitude of vivid characters, glorious poetry & a vigorous mix of calamity, humor, mayhem

Spoiler alert: every mug is my favourite mug but also, the bigger, the better! This giant Hamlet mug is what tea is all about, especially when I've been told I don't have an early morning shift tomorrow and ai can turn off my alarm. Excellent!

Lazarus Theatre Company's Hamlet at Southwark Playhouse "has a kinetic energy" and offers "a thrill in its unpredictability".

Ok so I guess I am going to just keep on occasionally posting/reboosting the link to my #Hamlet rewrite in hopes that somebody will read and appreciate. Be amused. Be moved, if only to pity

Each to their own. I think Richard Burton is fantastic in the role. He allows the text to sing, shows how intensely musical it is. He gives us a #Hamlet who is believably, dangerously mad. It’s a very #Welsh, very un-English performance. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/jan/09/hamlet-richard-burton-john-gielgud-the-motive-and-the-cue-jack-thorne #Shakespeare #RichardBurton

I don’t think I’ll ever get over how thrilling Richard Burton is when he performs the famous ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ scene in #Hamlet. https://open.spotify.com/track/6CQY0e8qWPC7hy5hcdYzI0?si=pUOLEvCvRoGOsCdjTgvPAg #Shakespeare #RichardBurton

One thing I enjoy about living in the #hamlet of Charlottetown #Newfoundland is discovering the creatures my neighbours live with. These are some #chickens that #freerange at the end of the beach road. Another neighbour fairly close by has a #chicken #coop but she recently offered her #rooster to anyone who will take him. She considers him an attack rooster. Is that aggressive behaviour common with roosters? I'm still debating the advisability of getting chickens.
