Here's what it takes to start and run a SHAKESPEARE CLUB:

• will
  
• effort

• Shakespearean expertise

Dear Tattania,

I love you + hope you love me back.

Your eyes are as beautiful as thee + your eyes will never tell me lies + the curls in your hair look like curly fries.

I send all my love,

Love,
