Shakespeare All Day, Everyday


Walking around downtown Baltimore the other day, I found this banner. Apparently the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is moving into town, which works for me. One of the many revelations this project has provided me is a realization of the amazing pervasiveness of Shakespeare in our world. Basically, the more you look, the more you see. He’s literally everywhere, and if you start paying attention you can see reference to The Bard on at least a weekly basis. This I find rather amazing actually: the fact that I can see reference to a playwright that lived well over four hundred years ago, essentially all the time, everywhere.
