We haven’t
had much of a Winter’s Tale yet but at least there is some snow in the
Stockholm area. There hasn’t been much
Shakespeare in our lives either this past month, not even yesterday when we
were planning to play ‘Shakespeare Trivial Pursuit’ with our friends, EG and
EG, and we couldn’t find it! That’s the danger of tidying up. I know where it
was before tidying up that corner but where did I put it? I’ll no doubt find it
whilst looking for something else. Ah well.
Happy
holidays to you all! I wish you loads of Shakespeare!
Here’s the
report, starting with links to Shakespeare calling – the book (a good
Christmas present for your Shakespeare friends? Or yourself?)

Shakespeare sightings:
- In the novel The Big Alone by Kristin Hannah the main characters were reading Hamlet in school.
- There was a review on Kulturnytt on the TV news of St Albyn’s Dunbar, now translated into Swedish. They also gave information on the series of contemporary novels based on Shakespeare plays (this one is about Lear). The reviewer liked the book and believes Shakespeare would be surprised that we still find Lear interesting. We have the book, but we haven’t read it yet.
- Macbeth is being performed
in Helsingborg, the TV program Sverige Idag (Sweden Today) tells us. It
takes place in a modern-day office.
Further since last time:
- Very little Shakespeare.
