#shax2025 PSA: flying United? Ralph Fiennes as Macbeth is on the in air entertainment. 😱 Please watch. And then find me in Boston so we can break it down with the kind of exhausting granularity only a couple of Shakes-nerds would enjoy.

This has to be one of the coolest things I’ve heard of
Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.
