The coronavirus outbreak has rearranged plans for the majority of us. Naturally, theaters are no exception as they’re closing their doors all around the world, with productions being canceled or postponed. But for those in need of a Shakespearean fix, Sir Patrick Stewart has come to the rescue. A former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for over 15 years, the legendary actor (both stage and screen) has brought some joy into our lives by reciting one of Shakespeare’s classic sonnets. For many, Sir Patrick Stewart’s voice is soothing and comforting, so what more could we ask for during these shaky times?

After witnessing the success of his first reading, the actor did a follow-up on his first video. This time, he read Sonnet 1. Does this mean we’ll get new sonnets every day? We can only hope.
