Shakespeare's Sonnet 136 - Will Merrick |

THE SONNET PROJECT
Sonnet 136 - Will Merrick
https://www.gofundme.com/f/jermyn-str...

#JSTBraveNewWorld is our programme of work to keep our community connected and audiences enjoying theatre at home.

154 actors will perform Shakespeare's sonnets, in order, one a day.

A minute of hope and beauty each day.

The inimitable Will Merrick has not only worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company, The Royal Exchange, and at Shakespeare's Globe, but he also starred in iconic TV series, 'Skins'. Today, we are lucky to have him perform Sonnet 136.

Again, with the ‘will’ thing? Although only a restrained 7 uses here, added to S135, that’s 20 WILLS. Plus, he adds the sexual puns on ‘something’, ‘nothing’, ‘come’, ‘fulfil’, etc. WE GET IT. YOU WANT TO FILL HER TREASURE. No means no, move on.
