Will and Whimsy: Sixteen Dramatically Illustrated Sonnets of Shakespeare
by Alan Haehnel
Shakespeare stands before you. A book of sonnets in his hands. His sonnets. 154 of them. Will you take the book? Will you read the sonnets?
NO WAY!!!!!!
Shakespeare isn't meant to be read. He's meant to be performed, shouted, loved, wept with, cursed over, died for, fought for, bled for!
You might think that's a bit much. Somewhat over-emotional. You can't understand a word Shakespeare says, and now you're supposed to get choked up? And bleed? Over Sonnets?
Fair enough. Start with Will and Whimsy. Modern scenes play hand in hand with the original text.
The sonnets come alive. No bleeding. We promise.
