Catching up on email after my week at Tassajara and delighted to find these in my inbox. Loved the mystery one, of course, but also liked the way you brought the two Shakespeare characters together for their own critique of the plays they were in. Glad you thought to do it and that you did it so well!
ALl poetry is niche, but I really loved this. Not a big knower of things Shakespeare, but I did see my share of plays. Mostly in Dutch open air theatres, by chance. Picnic niblles and glass in hand.
I really like the writing in both. The first one really has the feel of one of these crime novels, and the second one could be part of a play in one of those aforementioned open air theatres. Already looking forward to it.
Very funny, charming as heck, a great take on those two plays. Mercutio must have been written to keep Bill’s interest and ours while the young twits went about their business.

Thanks so much, Rose! I feel lucky to have you for a reader.

Thank you, Arjan!
I agree, open air theatre is a special experience.
I LOVED this. Planning to go see King Lear in Stratford this summer
Oh, glorious! I hope you'll write about it.

This suggests a wonderful new game to play while reading/watching Shakespeare: which character in this play did Shakespeare write to amuse himself?
Thank you for reading and responding so generously, Weston.
