They finally let shakespeare.com lapse, and now it's just a domain squatter. Sad - it's not even listed as For Sale. I used to monitor the status of that registration (the original owner passed away a long time ago), but never seriously. Guess I missed my window.

Sharon Osbourne, wife of the late great Ozzy, is of the Arden family. Whether she's descended from Mary Arden, mother of Shakespeare, we have no idea. But that's going to be my head canon from now on. Ozzy/Shakespeare connection confirmed.

YouTube video by BBC America Dame Judi Dench Performs A Shakespeare Sonnet 🤯 The Graham Norton Show | BBC America

Happy Sonnet Day! On May 20, 1609, Shakespeare's sonnets were published. Which one's your favorite?

I love pointing people to sonnet 29. I have it set to music (Rufus Wainwright) on playlist. And I've lost track of how many times I watched Dame Judi recite it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY0A...

Probably not season 2 immediately, we want to explore the wide world of Shakespeare adaptation and not just be a Slings & Arrows rewatch. But it'll happen!
