#ShakespeareSunday is a popular weekly event on Twitter, organised by @HollowCrownFans dedicated to celebrating the works of William Shakespeare.
The Signatures of Old Sir Rowland Hill and Sir Thomas Lodge on the 1500s Soulton Papers
It’s a vibrant online community for Shakespeare enthusiasts of all levels, from casual fans to seasoned scholars. Here’s what you can expect on #ShakespeareSunday:
- Sharing Quotes: Participants share their favorite quotes or passages from Shakespeare’s plays.
- Themed Discussion: Each week, a specific theme related to Shakespeare’s works is chosen, prompting discussions and creative responses.
We are pleased to have been able to pick the upcoming #ShakespeareSunday event on July 18th: Harmony.
This theme resonates beautifully with the spirit of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, As You Like It, a play associated with Soulton that explores themes of reconciliation, unity, and the restoration of balance.

The play concludes with a joyous dance, symbolizing the harmonious resolution of conflicts and the return of peace. A dance we may know a little about…

Here is a selection of the the thoughtful posts people shares from around the world:
..every of this happy number
That have endured shrewd days and nights with us
Shall share the good of our returned fortune,
…forget this new-fall’n dignity
And fall into our rustic revelry.
Play, music! And..
With measure heap’d in joy, to the measures fall.#ShakespeareSunday pic.twitter.com/G738Xp9LK7— Soulton Hall (@SoultonHall) July 27, 2024

A peace is of the nature of a conquest;
For then both parties are nobly subdued, and neither party loser.#ShakespeareSunday #HollowCrownFans H IV Part II
