Letter to Robert Burns begins not with solemn tribute but with the familiar cadence of fondness, both for the man and the myth he became. You were not just Scotland’s poet—you were its pulse, its raw nerve, its laughter after loss. Your name, once printed in Kilmarnock, echoed far beyond the fields of Ayr, finding kinship in places where hearts break and songs rise to meet the pain. When Scots raise a glass in your name, it is not just nostalgia. It is recognition of something unshaped by…-

Letter to Lord Byron begins with a spirited nod to your reputation—grand, scandalous, and still undecided in the hands of modern critics. The pen that writes to you carries both admiration and a grin, acknowledging that no figure in English letters has divided taste with such drama. Where Leigh Hunt once addressed you as “noble,” this letter does so with a blend of respect and irreverence, much like your own poetry—bold in tone, layered in intent. In the drawing rooms of your time, and now in…

Letter to Omar Khayyam opens not with formality, but with a breeze—the kind that stirs rose petals over your resting place, reminding us how you taught the world to notice what fades. These petals, caught mid-fall, echo the very verses that made you unforgettable. You did not plead with eternity or argue for paradise. Instead, you toasted the present with a full cup, choosing laughter over longing. Your words, carved in the wine-drenched air of Persia, still carry the scent of warmed earth and distant…

Letter to Q. Horatius Flaccus begins with a quiet, searching tone, reflecting on whether the poet, in whatever place death may have led him, still enjoys the charm of country walks and city wit.

The letter doesn’t aim to solve the mystery of the afterlife—it accepts the uncertainty. Unlike Virgil’s bold journeys into shadowy realms,…

Prologue introduces a world where laughter is fading, and with it, the spirit of traditional comic theatre. Mr. Woodward appears not as a performer filled with jest but as a figure clad in mourning, embodying the decline of the comedic tradition he once served with pride. His sorrow isn’t a performance—it’s genuine, grounded in the observation that the audiences once thrilled by farce and folly now demand polished sentiment. He speaks not only for himself but for a generation of actors who find…-
