August 2024
Summer’s lease hath all too short a date…It’s
already August...
And sadly, our thoughts still go to Gaza. One day, I hope to be able to quote something about peace,
but again, sadly, I repeat what I have repeated for far too long:
‘O war!
thou son of hell’ O Netanyahu! Thou son of hell! Our thoughts and support are still
needed to the people of Gaza, and the people of Israel who hate
the war. Protest in any way you can! And don’t give up hope. ‘True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.’
In this time of turmoil and hope I give you this familiar
promo for the book Shakespeare calling – the book. Indie authors like me always
need support, even now when book signings and lectures can again be scheduled.
Only on the Internet can I reach people like you, who are interested in
Shakespeare would like to support the Shakespeare Calling project. I do so hope
you will help me by ordering the book online. Any sales I make of
this book will go directly to Doctors without Borders for their work in Gaza as long as the war
lasts. Just let me know and I’ll send the money forthwith. You can
also order directly from me. Just write me an email. Thank you.
I am also sending contributions to
Doctors without Borders and other organisations who are helping Gaza.

Shakespeare
sightings:
- In the Danish police series Unit One (Rejseholdet), the villain of one of the episodes lives in Stratford upon Avon, which prompts several comments about Shakespeare, and in another episode, the brother of one of the murder victims is a scenographer currently doing a student production of Romeo and Juliet. And in another, they’re in Elsinore and they pass a statue of Hamlet.
