It’s No King Lear
I wrote this in response to a tweet/meme I keep seeing float around. The tweet reminds us that during quarantine our pal, Shakespeare, wrote “King Lear”. Basically, don’t be a pile of garbage and create some magic during this strange opportunity. (Scroll to the end to see the OG image.)
Well listen. Shakespeare, while crazy talented, did not have Netflix. Or YouTube. Or children trained to request snacks in 30 minute intervals. King Lear - hella impressive. Surviving this pandemic and the panic and the unknown AND juggling modern day parenting rules and screen time, all with “Baby Shark’s doo doo doos” circling your brain waves .... Well, I think it’s a pretty big ask.
So here ya go. Here’s my body of work (so far) ... but head’s up. It’s No “King Lear”.
