Timeless


We saw the matinee of Phedre today at the Stratford, Ontario and tonite we saw “The Importance of Being Earnest”. We are in Stratford for the Shakespeare Festival but aren't seeing anything by the bard this time. As mentioned earlier in this blog, we've been reading the writings of Stephen Leacock.

What's amazing to me is the timeless quality of all these plays and writings. The most recent, Leacock, wrote his most famous book in 1910 - 100 years ago! And yet, they all can still make me laugh or think about my humanity as if they were written today.
