Today I noticed that the Folger's Shakespeare Library softcovers look suspiciously like cans of LaCroix. Here is a 🧵of pairings, starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream and a lovely can of fizzy lemon water.

We are saddened to hear about the death of Michael Gambon.
Michael first worked with us in the 1970s before performing as King Lear to Antony Sher’s Fool in 1982, and brilliantly in The Unexpected Man in 1998 alongside Eileen Atkins.
