On 24th May, 2012, the glorious STEPHEN FRY…..

…..tweeted a link to The Shakespeare Code’s Post….

‘Just how gay was Henry Wriothesley, the Third Earl of Southampton?‘

To read Stephen’s witty, wicked, coded words please Google: ‘Stephen Fry’ and ‘Titchfield’.

Stephen’s endorsement has brought some fascinating responses, especially from an intriguing site called Loony Literature. See:

They have written to The Code:

I would live in your blog if I could. We are huge fans. We need to keep the love of our literary heritage going and that is what you are doing. If folks are not inspired by you, then there is no hope.

Now The Agents of The Code are hardened men who have seen terrible sights: but there were few dry eyes at The Code’s Head Office this morning when I read out this message after morning prayers.

Also, like all great organisations, Loony Literature is, in reality, run by a Cat called Mildred.  I have a feeling the two of us are going to be great friends…

Also, let me quote two more lovely messages.

Lisa-Marie Haugmeon writes of The Dedication to Shakespeare’s Sonnets Decoded:

I am totally enthralled! This really puts it all into place. I never liked Shakespeare until now. You have made him what he really was: a flawed human being, instead of a super human creature.

Dearest Lisa-Marie (if a Cat may call you that) you have understood ABSOLUTELY what we are all up to at The Code.

We are thrilled.

And Steve Rose, a B.A. Honours Undergraduate, writes of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Decoded. The first performance in 1594. Part One.:

Absolutely enthralling…

The Code predicts a thrilling future for Mr. Rose. Not only is he kind and imaginative enough to send us his response – he also calls himself ‘an undergraduate’ rather than ‘a student’.

The two are seldom the same….

But the last word of thanks must go to National Treasure, Stephen….

You’re the cream in my coffee…..

You’re the milk in my tea…….

‘Bye, now….
