For he's a jolly good fellow



I'm a regular irregular patron of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, a theater in Montgomery which always includes a few of the Bard's works in their annual production season.  In the foyer of the theater stands a statue of Shakespeare, and the Festival staff like to have fun with him by dressing him up throughout the year. The usual decor in April is, of course, a birthday hat. Shakespeare died on April 23rd, and tradition holds that he was born on that date as well. (His baptism on the 25th of April is known for certain.)

Thank you for visiting! Because of some very clever spambots, I've had to start moderating comments more strictly, but they're approved throughout the day.
