Lemon Shakespeare
I am Lemon Shakespeare, a site that wants to go to places and take you with me. I want to go to beautiful gardens and ancient watering holes. To orchards, arbours, churches and theatres. I want to take you to houses of sport, faith, play and playing spaces to the sound of shuffling cards and trumps put down on a table. I want to lead you along the high wire of life and the secret tunnels of getaway and death. I want to take you to the stars over oceans of words. There are dances to be imported to my hard drive. There are songs to sing across live streams. The world is thirsty, we lack water. And sometimes we have too much of it. Sometimes it is not good enough to drink. Sometimes it is just good enough to wash ourselves clean.
Come sail with me. I want to make you not just think, but feel.
