Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 18, 2023 is: zephyr • ZEFF-er • noun A zephyr is a breeze blowing from the west. More loosely, a zephyr can be any gentle breeze. // We were relieved when a zephyr blew in just as the heat of the day was peaking, allowing us to remain comfortably on the beach for a little while longer. See the entry > Examples: “As I played [the video game Okami], I'd pause to manually draw a slash, loop, or other shape using a calligraphy-style brush, creating a tornado or a fire. … An ‘O' around a tree's naked branches made it burst with cherry blossoms, a vision of abundance. A curlicue in the air created a zephyr that gently riffled through the sky. The world was my sketchbook, and I wanted to beautify the game's gorgeous woodblock and sumi-e ink art style.” — Nicole Clark, Polygon.com, 8 Feb. 2023 Did you know? To build on a classic lyric by Bob Dylan, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows—especially if you know that wind is a zephyr. You see, poets have eulogized Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind—and his “swete breeth” (in the words of Geoffrey Chaucer)—for centuries. Zephyrus, the personified west wind, eventually evolved into zephyr, a word for a breeze that is westerly or gentle, or both. Breezy zephyr blew into English with the help of such delightfully windy wordsmiths as William Shakespeare, who used the word in his play Cymbeline: “Thou divine Nature, thou thyself thou blazon'st / In these two princely boys! They are as gentle / As zephyrs blowing below the violet.”

“Cuando no forzamos las cosas le damos la oportunidad para que sean como tienen que ser de acuerdo a la voluntad de Dios”. Una vez leí un letrero que decía: “Prohibido forzar: Ni el amor, ni las amistades, ni las situaciones. Absolutamente nada”. Muy popularmente se dice: “Forzados, ni los zapatos”. De modo que lo que se forza nunca sale bien. El escritor William Shakespeare dijo: “He aprendido que no puedo exigir el amor de nadie. Yo solo puedo dar buenas razones para ser querido y tener paciencia para que la vida haga el resto”. Así que tanto en el amor, en las relaciones y en las decisiones, no es bueno forzar las cosas. Dios no nos forza a tener una relación con Él. Al contrario, nos ha mostrado Su infinito e inmensurable amor al enviar a Su Hijo para sacrificarlo todo, incluyendo su misma vida por amor a nosotros. Aunque Él tenía todo el poder para hacerlo, no usurpó del mismo por amor a nosotros. Su amor lo entregó todo, lo esperó todo y lo dio todo, ¿por qué tendríamos que forzar las cosas? Aprendamos a no forzar nada aplicando estos dos principios: “Confiar en los tiempos y en los planes de Dios, al igual que sacrificando y dando lo mejor de nosotros mismos”. La Biblia dice en Mateo 6:34 , “ 34 »Así que no se preocupen por el mañana, porque el día de mañana traerá sus propias preocupaciones. Los problemas del día de hoy son suficientes por hoy” (NTV).

BENEDICK                                But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted: and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart; for, truly, I love none. BEATRICE A dear happiness to women: they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that: I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me. BENEDICK God keep your ladyship still in that mind! so some gentleman or other shall 'scape a predestinate scratched face. William Shakespeare's “Much Ado About Nothing” has it all: heroes, villains, loyalty and betrayal, hatred and love, serious crime and silly sidelights. At one point it veers dangerously close to utter tragedy only to come right again with true love conquering even the coldest hearts. I asked Dr. Tiffany Schubert to begin giving us an overview of the play.

William Shakespeare once wrote “What is in a name?”, referring to how a name does not hold any worth or meaning. But there must be something about Mary. During my research of haunted places, people and things, I happened to come across many different hauntings associated with the name Mary. From a haunted road to a haunted bridge, a once glorious passenger ship, all the way to a curse.

King Alonso grows increasingly despondent over the loss of his son, giving Antonia and Sebastian confidence that they will soon take power. They stumble upon a sumptuous feast presented by mysterious beings and waste no time gorging themselves before Ariel appears as a harpy and chastises Alonso, Sebastian and Antonia for their sinful acts, past and present. Elsewhere, Caliban encourages Stephano to carry out the murder of Prospero, which he vows to do until Trinculo stumbles upon the clothing and finery that Prospero and Ariel have laid as a trap to distract them. Caliban urges them to ignore the rich garments but Trinculo and Stephano get carried away with the luxury of the robes, gathering them greedily until Prospero unleashes his supernatural hounds to attack the conspirators and chase them into a frenzy. He revels in their misery and urges his dogs on in the attack but Ariel convinces him to ease his vengeance. At last, Prospero softens and vows to give up his magical powers once he performs his final act.

It's time for another visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of the Maryland-DC regional stage. Today, she talks with Tom about two classic shows currently in town: Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet and Everyman Theatre's production of Harvey. Hamlet is widely considered to be William Shakespeare's greatest tragedic play, while Harvey is a 1944 comedy about a man whose best friend is a giant, invisible rabbit. Do these two plays have anything in common? In this new production of Hamlet, Baltimore native and nationally recognized Shakespeare director, Eleanor Holdridge, reveals this iconic piece of Shakespearian literature as a contemporary world full of tension. “We're creating a world of magic and wonder in which Hamlet can grapple with the questions of our existence,” Holdridge said of the production in a press release. “Even when he tries to make sense of and avenge his father's untimely death, he discovers the ineffable strength of his own humanity.” Harvey tells the story of Elwood P. Dowd (played by Resident Company Member, Bruce Randolph Nelson), a lovable eccentric who claims his best friend is a six-foot-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. When Elwood's sister, Veta, tries to have him committed in hopes of protecting the family's social standing, chaos ensues. The original Pulitzer Prize-winning play was written by Mary Chase.  It's directed at Everyman by Jackson Gay. Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's production of Hamlet and Everyman Theatre's production of Harvey both continue through May 21.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'A thirteen-year-old girl is at a party. A boy, slightly older, sees her. Juliet. This book is about that girl.' A cultural, historical and literary exploration of the birth, death and legacy of the ultimate romantic heroine—Shakespeare's Juliet Capulet. Juliet Capulet is the heartbeat of the world's most famous love story. She is an enduring romantic icon. And she is a captivating, brilliant, passionate teenage girl who is read and interpreted afresh by each new generation. Searching for Juliet takes us from the Renaissance origin stories behind William Shakespeare's child bride to the boy actor who inspired her creation onstage. From enslaved people in the Caribbean to Italian fascists in Verona, and real-life lovers in Afghanistan. From the Victorian stage to 1960s cinema, Baz Luhrmann and beyond. Sophie Duncan draws on rich cultural and historical sources and new research to explore the legacy and reach of Romeo and Juliet far beyond the literary sphere. With warmth, wit and insight, she shows us why Juliet is for now, for ever, for everyone.

In honor of the 459th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare, we have a little history nugget for you. There are surprising historical connections to be gleaned from small-town graveyards. MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer talked with Faribault County Historical Society Executive Director Randy Anderson about the link between one of the great Shakespearean actresses of the London stage in the early 1800s and the town of Blue Earth in southern Minnesota.

Lolita Chakrabarti is the playwright of Red Velvet, about 19th-century Black actor Ira Aldridge, and has adapted Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities and Yann Martel's The Life of Pi for the stage. Now, she has adapted Maggie O'Farrell's bestselling novel Hamnet for the stage. Hamnet is currently playing at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Swan Theatre. The play tells the story of a young Agnes Hathaway and William Shakespeare as they fall in love and start a family, and the psychological damage caused by the death of their son, Hamnet. Barbara Bogaev talks with Chakrabarti about adapting O'Farrell's story, how she portrays the Shakespeare family, and her earlier play Red Velvet. Hamnet is onstage at the Royal Shakespeare Company's newly restored Swan Theatre until June 17 and will open at London's Garrick Theatre on September 30.

Prior to Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in 1538, the section of London known as Blackfriars was as major religious institution extending along the bank of the Thames River. In its' entirety, Blackfriars was second in size only to St. Paul's Churchyard. After the Reformation, Blackfriars was located in what's known as a Liberty, which meant it was just outside the reach of the mayoral law. Being outside the mayor's jurisdiction made Blackfriars especially attractive to entrepreneurs like The Burbages and their star writer, William Shakespeare, who wanted to open a theater that wasn't subject to the tighter restrictions of London proper. Blackfriars wasn't only attractive to innovative theater professionals, however, it was also attractive to immigrants and the highly religious who were seeking freedom from the regulation of guilds. At the time that Shakespeare and the Burbages were looking at Blackfriars as a home for their theater, the parish of St Anne, Blackfriars, was dominated by godly clergy and parishioners, the people we usually think of as the enemies of theater. Here today to explain to us how Blackfriars theater was able to survive and thrive in this section of London is our guest, Chris Highley.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

King Alonso trudges through the rain-soaked island searching for any sign of his lost son. Gonzala does her best to comfort him over the derision of Antonia and Sebastian, who blame the King for his misfortunes and ridicule Gonzala's optimistic idealism. Ariel arrives to cast a spell over Gonzala and Alonso, putting them to sleep under the guard of Sebastian and Antonia. Meanwhile, Caliban bristles at having to haul wood for Prospero until he hears the approach of Trinculo, the King's jester, who he mistakes for one of Prospero's demons. He hides under a cloak, which Trinculo discovers and uses as shelter from the rain. There, he finds Caliban, who he presumes from his stench is a strange mis-shapen creature from the island. Stephano, the King's butler, drunk from the liquor that he found after the shipwreck, happens upon the pair and is joyfully reunited with Trinculo. Together, they get Caliban to drink liquor for the first time. In return, Caliban offers to be their devoted servant and renounces his loyalty to Prospero.

William Shakespeare is the most prolific writer in the history of the English language. Strange that he did it without any formal education in reading or writing the English language, never owned any books, didn't know how to spell his own name, and never left England. What if Shakespeare didn't actually write Shakespeare? And if he didn't, who did?

400 years after the publication of William Shakespeare's First Folio, five writers are each asked to pick a speech from one of the Folio's plays, tell it what they think it means, and what it means to them. In the last essay of this series, award-winning writer and historian Professor Dame Marina Warner chooses a speech from Othello - from Act 1, Scene 3 of the play. She tells us why it raises questions about stories and history as well as ideas about heroism, prejudice and fantasy. As a writer who has often grappled with the truthfulness of stories, myths and fairy tales, Marina reveals she selected the speech because in the passage, Shakespeare is reflecting on the ways imagination makes things real. At this point in the play, Othello is setting out to clear himself after Brabantio, the father of his new wife, Desdemona, has railed against the 'practices of cunning hell' which Othello must have used to make her fall in love with him. Marina reflects on the reciprocal projections exchanged between tellers of tales and their audiences and considers how suggestible Othello and Desdemona are.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 20, 2023 is: fortitude • FOR-tuh-tood • noun Fortitude is a formal word that refers to the strength of mind that enables someone to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. Less formal words with similar meanings include grit, fiber, and pluck. // To reach the summit of Denali requires not only great physical strength and training but the fortitude to persevere no matter the challenge. See the entry > Examples: “This emotional novel about forgiveness honors the immense fortitude manifested by families separated during wartime.” — review, The Christian Science Monitor, 24 Jan. 2023 Did you know? Fortitude comes from the Latin word fortis, meaning “strong,” and in English it has always been used primarily to describe strength of mind. For a time, the word was also used to mean “physical strength”; William Shakespeare used it that way in Henry VI, Part 1: “Coward of France! How much he wrongs his fame / Despairing of his own arm's fortitude.” But despite use by the famous bard himself, that meaning languished and is now considered obsolete. Even the familiar phrase “intestinal fortitude” is just a humorous way to refer to someone's courage or mental stamina, not the literal strength of their digestive system. (If you're looking to describe such a gastrointestinal tract, we might suggest “iron stomach.”)

400 years after the publication of William Shakespeare's First Folio, five writers are each asked to pick a speech from one of the Folio's plays, tell it what they think it means, and what it means to them. This time, award-winning playwright, screenwriter and director David Hare chooses a speech by Macbeth in Act 5, Scene 3 of the play. David tells us how Shakespeare perfected his gift for the lone monologue to help reveal what is going on inside a character's head. In Act 5, Scene 3 of Macbeth, the lead character waits for news of an English army which has been assembled in an attempt to destroy him. As he waits, he gives a speech in which he thinks about what life will be like if he makes it to old age. It's a speech which moves David. He ponders what makes the play so hard to perform, in an essay which takes us from Quentin Tarantino to Philip Larkin. Produced by Camellia Sinclair for BBC Audio in Bristol Mixed by Suzy Robins

400 years after the publication of William Shakespeare's First Folio, five writers are each asked to pick a speech from one of the Folio's plays, tell it what they think it means, and what it means to them. This time, the author, curator and broadcaster Professor Islam Issa chooses a speech from Act 2, Scene 2 of Julius Caesar. It's a speech which he says is full of masterful language, can leave us with surprising take-homes about everyday life, and has a fascinating performance history. In an essay which takes us from the Roman Empire to Robben Island prison, Islam shows us how much a short speech from early in the play can teach us about humanity and every day life. Drawing on reflections and quotes from Islamic scholar and mystic Jalal al-Din Rūmi and the father of the Japanese chanoyu (the tea ceremony) Sen no Rikyu, Islam reveals how a passage from a play which is over 400 years old might say something about mindfulness in the present moment.

400 years after the publication of William Shakespeare's First Folio, five writers are each asked to pick a speech from one of the Folio's plays, tell it what they think it means, and what it means to them. In the second essay of this series, Michelle Terry, actor and artistic director at Shakespeare's Globe, chooses a speech by Rosalind - a character she played. Rosalind appears in As You Like It - a play which was first printed in the 1623 Folio. In the scene Michelle selects, Rosalind is disguised as Ganymede and is speaking to her estranged love Orlando in the Forest of Arden. She tests his love for her by posing as a love doctor and offering to cure him of his love. Michelle tells us how she first found the part a challenge but when she delved into the text and into the Folio, she found subtle clues which revealed an "intelligent and now liberated woman tumbling her way through long sentences." She reveals how when she played Rosalind, she learned to trust Shakespeare and to trust the words on the page. Produced by Camellia Sinclair for BBC Audio in Bristol Mixed by Suzy Robins

 It's Shakespeare's Birthday this week! Happy Birthday Shakespeare! To celebrate, we're going to paly some card games! From Noddy and Maw to Laugh and Lie Down, card games were popular for Shakespeare's lifetime, with records from the court of King James and Elizabeth I outlining games played, losses incurred, and even insults traded between dignitaries all over the playing of card games. Shakespeare himself mentions a few of these games in his plays by name including Noddy, Primrose, and Laugh and Lie Down. When it comes to early modern card games, no one knows more about the games, their history, and how to play them than internationally renowned game expert David . If you are an Experience Shakespeare patron on PAtreon or followed meon YouTube where we have played some of these early modern games for ourselves, you will be familiar with David 's name, having seen and heard me mention his work as we relied on his research to put together those activities. I am very honored and quite delighted to welcome David  to the show today to share with us some of the history of card games, how they were played, and their place in society for the life of William Shakespeare.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

William Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." Many long to be the star of that stage, but there is a weight the headliner carries that the other players on the stage do not carry. It's a weight that can drain us of our Happy. What if we made something bigger than us the superstar instead? What if we made Love the star of the stage? What if Happy was the headliner of our show and we were simply background singers on this stage so much bigger than us? A stage that only something as large as Hope, or Love, or Happy can fill.The songs we use in this episode are "Fresh" by Kool and the Gang and "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley.

In the summer of 1483 Edward and Richard, sons of the deceased King Edward IV, disappeared from the Tower of London, where they were being held by the recently crowned Richard III. There are countless theories about their fate. Some believe that were secretly whisked away and survived into adulthood. Some are convinced that Richard III had them murdered, a theory perpetuated by Sir Thomas More and William Shakespeare. But other suspects linger in the background as well.My guest, M.J. Trow, believes he knows who killed the Princes in the Tower, and he shares his thoughts on this week's episode of Most Notorious. His book is called "The Killer of the Princes in the Tower: A New Suspect Revealed".For more on M.J. Trow's books, visit his Amazon page here.
