    1. There are so many of them, and they still make them. It's fascinating how they hold up. Timeless.

  3. Once again, I am out of my element. I just never got into Shakespeare. However, I will bookmark this in case I have time to come back at a later date to watch it.

    1. I've never been much of a fan of reading plays, but I do enjoy the various filmed adaptations.

  4. Othello is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. Did you see the 1995 version with Laurence Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh? It was great.
