"You know who my gods are, who I believe in fervently? Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson — she's probably the top — Mozart, Shakespeare, Keats. These are wonderful gods who have gotten me through the narrow straits of life."
--R.I.P. Maurice Sendak
Mission
This is where we bring Shakespeare down from the Ivory Tower and into our everyday lives. We’re both suburban moms and Shakespeare professors. For us, the Bard isn’t some genius you haul out for weddings and graduations. He’s our snarky friend, our confidant, our therapist, and our partner in parenting. He’s a useful guy to have around. Stick around, and you’ll see what we mean.
