Sara asked Erik Didriksen:

What is your favourite Shakespeare play and why? Why do you think it is the most special, what stands out for you the most?

Erik Didriksen While his greatest works are doubtlessly among the tragedies, I have a soft spot for his comedies. "The Taming of the Shrew" or "Much Ado About Nothing" are probably of my favorites; the dialogue between Katherine and Petruchio or Beatrice and Benedick are razor-sharp and incredibly funny. I also think "Comedy of Errors" often gets short-shrifted because the comedy is lowbrow and the scenario is ludicrous, but it's a blast to watch.

Sally Kilpatrick asked Erik Didriksen:

I noticed you have new sonnets on your tumblr (I especially cracked up at Mambo #5), are you planning to compile another book? If so, are you looking at country? For some reason "Friends in Low Places" seems like an interesting candidate.

I realized this week that you hadn't posted any new sonnets lately. Have you stopped writing them? I enjoy your work and I'd love to see more.
