NATIONAL TALK LIKE SHAKESPEARE DAY – April 23
Sun Apr 23rd

National Talk Like Shakespeare Day

Every year, National Talk Like Shakespeare Day encourages us to talk like the Bard and the characters in his plays.

William Shakespeare (April 1564-April 23, 1616) is the author of some of the world's most celebrated plays and poems. We celebrated the Bard's death in 2016 on the 400th anniversary of his birth. What better way to honor his life and art than by speaking like the poet and playwright..

We can all speak like Shakespeare by substituting thou, thee, and ye for you and them. His favorite things, he said, were rhyming couplets and sarcastic insults. We owe a lot of the words we use today to Shakespeare.

For the list, we could make you wait with bated breath. We could send you on a wild goose hunt to find them. For goodness sake, we may as well be the laughing stock if we did!

Ah, come now. With fire, there is no need to fight fire with fire. Come what may we tell you the naked truth and teach you how to talk like Shakespeare. We promise you the naked truth and teach you how to talk like Shakespeare. When we are at it, we'll pull you out of the jaws of death and put you in a pickle too.

What makes your hair stand on end? Is it possible to place your teeth on edge? Well, what's been done is done.

You may be such a sad sight, but the world is your oyster even if you wear your heart on your sleeve. You've seen better days in Aye! We must send you packing. We must send you packing. Well, it's all Greek to you!
