Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 35 of 37:

#AntonyAndCleopatra is romantic melodrama on a global scale...the Roman leader and the Queen of Egypt are hedonistic, passionate for each other, even in death...proof that messy love is more inspiring than the cold sober might of Caesar

All the best & a happy birthday to #TimMcMullan!

I had the privilege of hearing him talk about his work as Enobarbus in NT's #AntonyAndCleopatra Nov 2018, and then have a chat after the event and the following 2 days outside the stage door, his being very lovely in general.

I'd written something beforehand & gave him a painting I'd made of him as a gesture of appreciation, so I suppose I was memorable as well. Got thanked with a kiss on the cheek, too, bless, and a later letter reply back.

@rawllawl A series of farewells #AntonyandCleopatra #Shakespeare

I finally finished my paper yesterday. It went decently, but writing this paper did cement #AntonyAndCleopatra as my favorite #Shakespeare play. Triangulations everywhere! Also, Caesar and Cleopatra are so shady!

And I used lyrics from #Bickenhead for the title tbh. ✨✨✨ #CardiB

@withryn @YusufToropov okay so listen... #KingLear would be amazing and I would definitely buy if you did it. But have you considered #AntonyAndCleopatra ...just throwing that out there?? 🤔😂

Either way, I’m excited for your comic version of Macbeth. Me and some of my irl Shakespeare nerd friends are patiently waiting for July to come. Haha.

I think I’m going to use something from #Bickenhead to title this paper. 🤔 You’re meant to imagine that Caesar would say this to Cleopatra. 🤔 #CardiB #Shakespeare #AntonyAndCleopatra

I’m just here, sitting and unable to start my outline for my #AntonyAndCleopatra paper. Like, I want/need to focus on 1-2 passages and I know which ones I want, but they’re sooo long and I only have so much paper. #Shakespeare #ShakespeareanSigh

More importantly, I am also considering which #CardiB lyrics I want to use for this title. 🤔
