"The Play's The Thing" - April 9, 2021

[Abide]

Solveth.

Nice work from Bard Lives!

[JetStream]

Must confess, I know the "What a piece of work is man" soliloquy by heart only because it was "sampled" in a song from the musical "Hair."

I have to say I think I know the entire album by heart. That and Jesus Christ Superstar. They were two of the albums I listened to over and over on my parents stereo way back when. Even now, I'm not sad I know either one. I saw Hair live at the local university a few years back - what a HOOT!

Ashore! To drink or not to drink, that is the question (the answer is definitely yes)

I would hope that was a rhetorical question....

Go Hawks.

[MatthewB]

Quickly ashore.... The sand feels good...

[mikeB]

Ashore. I don't always make it to the beach, so this feels quite alright.

[CopperRiver]

On the beach! Shakespeare brings back school memories. Had to Google but I made it.

[Henry Paul]

Ashore.

After the debacle of last week, feels good, even tho relatively easy. (Hah! Remind me of this in a few weeks time...)

Stay safe all.

[Scott Lindholm]

Haven't looked at the puzzle yet, but the younger daughter's latest dispatch from the wilds of Chicago can't wait.

[escapeartist]

On the beach - I solved the meta fairly easily.

Nice for a change with all the crazy ones lately!

Gonna be a crowded beach this weekend - I say we invite the cruise staff on shore for a wild weekend!

[SewYoung]

Ashore after a little research. Not hard, but couldn't come up with it off the top of my head.

and invite the wild racoons!

[lacangah]

I was smote by another puzzle earlier today, but this offering came with faire winds - ashore.

Good health and happy solving,

[EVJ]

Ashore!

[TeaJenny]

Ashore. Now, to sleep, perchance, to dream...

[DrTom]

Surrey:
I see them now, I swear by all the fringe
Upon my balding top, a larger beach
Is what we need. They come in wave on wave
These muggles streaming happily ashore
The Guinness doth o’erflow their bulging tankards.

Norfolk:
Thou speakst true of Guinness, for these throngs
Will be the record yea for weeks to come.
Poor Isaac left behind with not a soul
To share his watery tavern on the waves.

Methinks you jest good Bard, but then jesters do often prove prophets!

Still regarding we hearty souls suffering the slings and arrows of cruciverbalism (and Al Sisti) you must pose the question "If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you challenge us, shall we not solve?

[Al Sisti]

In 1992, our band and about 25 of our friends and girlfriends and wives did Jesus Christ Superstar... I might post an audio clip from it someday, but in the meantime, I highly recommend my friend Ryan Quinn (from the Voice and now with Postmodern Juke Box) doing his version of Gethsemane, here

[Sean]

On the beach! Or unto the breach! One of those things.

[Tonearm]

Ashore! Right up my alley. My favorite YA book growing up helped a lot here (not sharing the title as to avoid spoiling, though).

[debbierudy]

Ashore!
