Sir Patrick Stewart reading Shakespeare on Twitter is the perfect thing to calm you
Many of us love Sir Patrick Stewart, and now he’s reading Shakespeare to us online. Honestly, it’s the perfect thing to keep us inside and engaged.
When we’re all trapped inside, what’s better than Sir Patrick Stewart filming himself performing Shakespeare to keep us going? The Star Trek: Picard star is a well=known Shakespearean actor. From Hamlet and beyond, he’s proven himself a truly wonderful actor when it comes to theater. So, why not use that ability to bring joy to those online in the midst of us all stuck watching whatever we can find streaming online?
Not explaining why or how he’s doing this, Sir Patrick Stewart took to Twitter to ensure we all had something to watch and enjoy right now.
Can you blame him? The situation surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a lot to handle, a lot to look at and a lot to process. Seeing a bit of random Shakespeare from one of the greatest actors of our time might just be the blessing we need.
The videos are simple: just a shot of Sir Patrick Stewart reading a sonnet. It all started with this one:

And positive reactions gave Stewart the idea to keep going, because really, why not? What else are any of us doing? The thing is: This is the kind of celebrity content that we all need. Right now, so many celebrities are posting pictures or singing songs to make us feel better, and sometimes, it feels a little misguided.
With Stewart, though, he’s just trying to read everyone a sonnet like his mother used to do with him. And honestly, if he wanted to put on a one man show of every Shakespeare show out there, we’d all probably watch it all throughout a series of tweets.
