Double, double toil and trouble;/ Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,/ In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,/ Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,/ Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,/ Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
(Sounds a lot like dinner during pandemia, doesn't it? Jeez, we can even find RECIPES in Shakespeare's works!) Anyone who knows me knows that the stories, characters and language of Shakespeare resonate with me and have for many years. Hopefully, you also know that the Seattle Shakespeare Co. has for 25 years been the prime keeper of the flame for people in Seattle who love Shakespeare and all classical drama, as well as for those who don't yet know they do. Like so many organizations dedicated to serving the community, SSC finds itself in tough straits right now. If you can help with a gift, please do. If you are moved to subscribe for next (COVID-free!) season, that's great, too. Art always needs protection, and now more than ever.
Thank you!!!
