okay but if you’re ever in london and you have the chance to see a shakespeare play performed at the globe theatre itself DO IT even if you don’t think you’d dig shakespeare

if you need convincing here are a few highlights from when my family and i went to see the official globe theatre production of a midsummer night’s dream:

  • they cast helena as a guy (helenus), first of all. they took a straight love square between two girls and two guys and made it a love square between a girl and three guys, only one of which was white. both sets of couples get happy endings and it’s fuckin adorable
  • it was reimagined with an indian setting
  • puck had a water pistol and kept shooting at the audience
  • historical accuracy?? who cares everyone’s gonna dress like a modern hipster teenager
  • bottom and his acting troupe sung bon jovi
  • oh yeah also the acting troupe were reimagined as globe theatre employees with delusions of acting skills
  • hermia and helenus sung single ladies by beyonce
  • innuendos. innuendoes everywhere
  • oberon walked onstage for the fight between oberon and titania drunk with a half-empty bottle of schweppes
  • lysander spent a significant length of time in the play wandering around in just boxers and a leather jacket
  • oberon made out with puck
  • demetrius dabbed

I went to see Romeo and Juliet and can confirm, they’re lit as fuck

  • Everyone was a Juggalo. 
  • Except Romeo, who managed to straddle the line between being a juggalo and also being extremely emo
  • Seriously forget historical accuracy here too, everyone was in rave gear and clown makeup the entire goddamn production.
  • During the party scene, which was obviously a rave, Lord Capulet broke up the rave to do a full cast (and audience) karaoke rendition of YMCA
  • Lord Capulet was also the only one sporting a costume, which was a T-Rex costume, naturally
  • Speaking of Lord Capulet, he was also going around with something on leash – I say something, because to this day, it’s a conscientious topic of debate.
  • Either a), Lord Capulet had a dog for absolutely no reason, with the express purpose of letting it piss on the audience, OR,
  • b) Lord Capulet had a live-in petplay sub who he walked around on a BDSM harness, and the sub also happened to piss on everyone
  • either way the front of the pit got sprayed with fake piss every time Lord Capulet was on stage.
  • Yes even during the rave.
  • This is Shakespeare of course there were innuendos. 
  • A female Mercutio, with what I think was a heavily implied past (or current) relationship with Romeo
  • A surprising amount of grinding on stage
  • The interlude was also a rave, obviously.

Mercutio was the best thing about the play

Seeking Help To Attend CalArts

Hi, my name is Cain. 

I am overjoyed to have just been accepted to CalArts in the Character Animation program! 

I happen to be an African American self-taught artist born and raised in France with an unconventional educational path. I got into college without a high school diploma and had to get my GED to continue my studies at CalArts, resulting in an exceptionally late acceptance, months past the usual deadline. After that, little financial aid was available. CalArts has granted me the Lillian Disney Award, though it isn’t nearly the amount I need to attend the school. 

Being able to attend CalArts has been my biggest aspiration.

However, I cannot afford to go there without your help. If you could please contribute and/or spread the word about my crowdfunding, I would be truly grateful.

Here’s the link to my GoFundMe :

Please share.
