  • I made a late New Year’s resolution, which was to learn a Shakespeare speech, and yesterday I mastered the ‘All the world’s a stage‘ speech from As you like it as spoken by Jaques. It is not a play I know, but the speech is very well known.

Not only is this a fun thing to do, it helps with a bit of brain training too. Next up is to re-learn Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18, ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day’, which I first learned at school.
