“KING EDWARD IV:
Now my soul’s palace is become a prison;
Ah, would she break from hence, that this my body
Might in the ground be closed up in rest!
For never henceforth shall I joy again,
Never, O never, shall I see more joy!”
— William Shakespeare (King Henry VI, Part 3)

I am adding a new feature to Shakespeare Audios which I have called Shakespeare Playhouse - it will replace the Plays & Info pages and - hopefully - will be a place to click around and explore the plays with it's speeches, movies. documentaries and audio ofcourse. It will still take some time before all is finished but there is allready a lot editing done. Working on it (february 2024)

Random Sonnet

Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none.'
