All the World's a Stage
When I was around eight years old, my grandparents gave me a script and an original cast recording of 'The Phantom of the Opera'. When I listened to it, I couldn't believe the ideas, themes and above all love crammed in to such a story. Ever since, I have loved hearing other people's stories especially through the mediums of drama and literature. This has swept me towards my current undertaking of a BA in English and American Literature at The University of Kent and also towards this blog which, who knows, may inspire another person the way I was inspired.
This blog will include all aspects of the cultural world be it plays, literature old and new, musicals, inspirational people or television.

Quote reblogged from a warrior queen dares battleI don’t suppose I really know you very well - but I know you smell like the delicious damp grass that grows near old walls and that your hands are beautiful opening out of your sleeves and that the back of your head is a mossy sheltered cave when there is trouble in the wind and that my cheek just fits the depression in your shoulder.Zelda Fitzgerald in a letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald, November 1931 (via silverslipper)
