I thank my English teachers at school for continuing this education, and my goal for this blog is to pass on this passion to you.

Who are you? I hope you are not an expert in literature, you will quickly see that I am not. I hope you are someone who is willing to come on a journey for the next year as we travel together through the wonderful world that Shakespeare has created.

We will meet lovers, kings, emperors, clowns and of course fairies. There will be deception, jealousy, misunderstandings (lots of these) and a lot of laughter. Join me, as we experience every play he published, and encounter language wielded by a Master.
