Dear all,

This week's cultural curation includes some beautiful music, a classic film, and a thought-provoking read:

Worth Listening To

Worth Watching

If you want to celebrate William Shakespeare's (probable) 460th birthday, you might consider watching Kenneth Branagh's masterful 1993 film adaption of Much Ado About Nothing, featuring Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves besides the director and also introducing Kate Beckinsale.
