Favorite Lines from Shakespeare Project
During this time of COVID-19 as the world lives and breathes in isolation, I was looking for a way for us to share. Share our voices, share our breath, share words, words, words. Aha, Shakespeare.
On April 13, 2020, I sent out a call for folks to send in a favorite line from Shakespeare so I could compile them for April 23, the traditional celebratory day of all things Shakespeare! I have been moved, amused, entertained, and absolutely delighted by the results that have been sent. This video represents the first rendering of this project. I am going to continue collecting material over the coming months. Happy April 23rd & Happy Birthday William Shakespeare!
Favorite lines in this video include excerpts from 25 of Shakespeare's plays, 2 sonnets, & Venus & Adonis, his first narrative poem.
If you would like to share your favorite line from Shakespeare, please do! It can be from any of the plays or poems and in any language that you would like!
Please send an email to linesfromshakespeare@gmail.com with:
Your name as you would like it to appear in the credits
The location on “the great globe itself” from where you are sharing
The character or poem or sonnet excerpt that you are submitting
A video of you saying a favorite line from Shakespeare
