Morning
As Debra at She Who Seeks has mentioned, today is (purportedly) Shakespeare's birthday, born in 1564. In keeping with his perfect sense of timing, he (purportedly) died on the same date in 1616. And his work is still performed and adapted more than 400 years later. You may not think you know or like Shakespeare, but as the writing community might tell you: There are no themes or plots Shakespeare didn't already cover.
Some of his unfinished work (purportedly) includes Love's Labours Won -- a sequel to Love's Labours Lost. My buddy is putting the finishing touches on a new stage comedy featuring Oberon, Puck, and Ariel, references many of Will's works, and is titled Love's Labors.
I wonder if it could be staged in the nude.
How fun would that be?

I had no idea the say till i saw Debs blog. Come sit by me Pat....we will lounge naked under a tree while I read aloud some poetry........
A play in the nude?
I don’t think i could concentrate!
XOXO
Yes, there’s about one season in every one’s life where they would look good taking all their clothes off and being on the stage. Hugs and bisous.
I'd watch. BTW, the guy in the first pic, wow, great thighs, he has me all worked up.
Certainly would simplify costuming.
Cheat sheets? Cheat sheets?!?!
As one old Hollywood actor I worked with many years ago: Hide them all over the set! LOL
Oh, you smooth talker, you! Which tree?
Ha! Three of the gifs are from a nude Hamlet, btw.
XOXO
True. For me, those days are long gone!
Hugs and bisous.
Really? I think I would watch, too.
It sure would - and save on the budget! LOL
FYI: The name "William Shake-speare" was a pseudonym used by Mary Sidney, also known as Mary Sidney Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke. Her two sons (advisors to King James I (a bisexual man and lover to one of Mary Sidney's sons) published the First Portfolio shortly after their mother's death. Scholars are generally agreed that the actor "William Shakespeare" was not the playwright. Unlike Shakespeare the actor, Mary Sidney was an expert in flowers, birds, and medicines, all central themes in her works. Yep, what I am saying is true.
I'd like to see a remake of the movie "The Ritz" with a lot less clothing on the men. The chaps could remain, and the few women could stay dressed.
I would love it!
