My Art in the Time of a Pandemic

Art is emotion.  Art is passion.  Art is love. Art is struggle.

Handmade book by Suzanne Coley

Opera and Theatre take us through dramatic trajectories of emotions, in the short span of two hours.

This morning I watched a wonderful production of Hamlet, starring Michelle Terry in the title role.  This gender fluid Shakespeare production was filmed at the Globe Theatre in London.

This is how The Globe described the production:
"Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humor, Hamlet is a colossus in the story of English language and the fullest expression of Shakespeare's genius." The Globe also offers programs, talks, and podcasts that you can download.

Hamlet is free on YouTube and will be available until Sunday, 19 April 2020.  It is amazing to see this great production on YouTube!  I would love to see more: maybe the Met?
