This afternoon Gloria and I reprised our "Shakespeare's Sonnets" program for Sharon's poetry group at First Friends Church. We first presented this a year ago for our Poetry Plus group, and then Delaney and I did a portion of it for Great Gr & Gr Hatfield last summer.
There were ten ladies and one husband in attendence, and everyone seemed to enjoy listening, and at the end participating in the "fill in the missing words" of commonly used phrases of Shakespeare. After we were finished, the one lone gentlemen came to talk to us, and said that he thought we had done a very professional job. (How would he know this, I wondered!) After a little more discussion, he also told us that he was a retired professor of English literature, with a special interest in Shakespeare! Wow - thank goodness we didn't find out until we were done presenting because knowing ahead of time would have made us feel quite intimidated!!
