OK folks, here’s the rules!

Choose a sonnet, a speech, or a reasonably sized portion (you know how long is reasonable) of one of his poems. Film it on your phone. You can hold the phone or hand it off to somebody, but it must be *all in one take.* If you decide to add background mood music to it after the fact that’s okay, but the music can’t overwhelm the words. We need to be able to hear you. Other than this, no editing allowed!

Upload and send me the link at [email protected] - I will create a collective playlist for all the entries on this channel. And/or you can email me the file via wetransfer and I’ll upload it. If you’re having trouble, reach out!

Let’s keep this going as long as we are all cooped up. Shakespeare wrote some lovely and horrific plays during the plague quarantine and we can be creative during ours!

The challenge is issued!

“Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.”
