HELENA: Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgment taste.
Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.
And therefore is Love said to be a child
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, sc. 1, ll. 238ff (1.1.238-245) (1605)More about this quote: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

"Midsummer’s Night’s Dream [...] is the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life."
Disagreeing with you on the artistic value of the play, Sam, but I will make "insipid" part of my active vocab, and for that I thank you. As I thank you for all your posts. You are a good Mastodonian, Sam.

THESEUS: The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to Earth, from Earth to heaven,
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 5, sc. 1, ll. 10ff (5.1.10-14) (1605)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

Been out watching a superb production of #MidsummerNightsDream in that London’s expensive #Dulwich so missed the #ListeningClub #RelaxationVortex - hoping it’s relaxing enough for me to dive in when I get home #Shakespeare

Oh my god I'm actually working on #orchestral #excerpts of my own volition... I never enjoyed these back when I was auditioning, but today I felt like bringing some back out. Lots of work to be done, haha, but it's weirdly familiar to be playing them again.
Today was the scherzo from #midsummerNightsDream, mainly because my breath control has gone out the window and I know this will fix me, haha.
Here's the movement, it's about 5 minutes of #music, and if you don't know it, it's DEFINITELY worth a listen ^_^. The flute solo is near the end. You'll notice it, haha.

I'd love to see an album full of songs retelling Shakespeare, like Mixed Up Lovers by Dog Party.

Note: Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straights, and amazingly covered by the Indigo Girls, is one of my favorite songs, but not a retelling.

Well, I had an absolutely wonderful day in London yesterday, taking in a Shakespearean double-bill.
I started off with my first visit to the main theatre at Shakespeare's Globe (having previously only been to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse) for an excellent A Midsummer Night's Dream. Positioned right at the front of the yard, it was a real privilege to see this company, and the nuance of their performances, right up close.
