Fortis mortem solum aliquando gustat



For those of you in Western New York, you can catch performances of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in Delaware Park, any night of the week but Monday, at 7:30, until August 16. More information can be found on their website.

Shakespeare in Delaware Park


I'm not sure how crowded they are on weeknights, but on a weekend I'd be sure to get there at least half an hour early to get a good spot on the lawn.

I know Shakespeare isn't Classical exactly, but he certainly borrowed from the Romans, Ovid, Plutarch, et alii. Thinking like a teacher, everyone has to read Shakespeare in school at some point, and I think we should connect our Latin class to it if we can, and reinforce our understanding of both subjects.

And anyway it's free theatre. You can't go wrong with free Shakespeare in the park on a nice summer night. Enjoy the show!
