Caught up in the monumental event of the day, we take another brief break from Romeo & Juliet to address the Shakespearean quality this swearing in of the 44th president of the United States has taken on.

We're into Act I scene 4, and it's all about Mercutio. Forget Romeo and Juliet, this is the man of the hour. He's a bit raunchy, but you got to love him. otherwise he might not go away...

We break from our exploration of Romeo & Juliet, and take a look at two of the movies made from Shakespeare's play. Franco Zeffirelli and Baz Luhrmann are up on the chopping block and one of them isn't getting off all in one piece!

This is act 1 scene 2 and 3; We've got fate cooking up a little party, and a nurse who likes talking about her dugs. Yummy.

This is Act 1, scene 1; we're easing into Romeo and Juliet. We linger awhile over the epilogue, point out some flaws, and offer up a little comedy in this tragedy.

We proclaim ourselves to be the cure for boring Shakespeare, toss around some knowledge to show we're not punks, and offer up some tools to help dissect the plays, all in the name of entertainment.
