All the world's a stage

Oooh!  I couldn't resist this!  Here are the actors of  the Royal Shakespeare Company speaking our favourite passage of Shakespeare --

This is part of an initiative to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday, April 23, and David Tennant offered this up as his contribution.  (Some of you might recognize the great David Tennant as Dr. Who or from "Broadchurch" but he is a HUGE actor and seems to be in everything.)

Here are the instructions:
The idea is that people everywhere film or photograph something Shakespeare-related and upload it to Twitter, Instagram or YouTube tagging @theRSC and using the hashtag #ShareYourShakespeare. 

Organisers have offered a few ideas that also include: perform “All the world’s a stage” with your family; paint your favourite scene; tell a Shakespeare story using only emojis; rewrite a speech as a song. Or even teach your dog to bark some Shakespeare.

I don't use Twitter or Instagram so I'm not sure how to proceed, but I always celebrate April 23 and maybe I will be inspired.  If you think of something, please share it with me, too!
