hey yall! I am currently playing Mercutio Escalus in my high school’s production of Romeo and Juliet! I am also creating, playing and recording the soundtrack- so all of the music that will be used in the play. I’ll be posting more of the soundtrack later.

also: album art by the fantastic @onionsoupbowl who also plays our Benvolio!

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: in act 1 Macbeth and his wife are physically apart, they obviously don't hear each other's soliloquies but they always know each other's thoughts, they are quite literal partners in crime (and in greatness), which makes it all the more jarring when in 3.2 they are on stage together, talking to each other, and even assuming each other's language to a point where there's an obvious sense of déjà-vu, and yet their understandings are exactly opposite, marking the beginning of the end and the breakdown of communication between them.

Arthur Lester is really The Guy Ever he’s incredibly dependent on the eldritch voice in his head to the point that he can’t live without him and they fight constantly and know each other better than anyone else ever could and he also maybe lowkey thinks he’s an omen of death which is fucked up he’s compassionate but he’s arrogant and hypocritical and he goes right to murder when he feels like he has to but is otherwise appalled by the idea he’s a whirlwind of a human being what the fuck even is he

And then John is really just trying his best to keep the feral gentleman from killing a man

Troilus and Cressida is the wildest Shakespeare play because in one scene you’ve got the most boring white bread cishet romance of all time and in the next Patroclus informs the whole room he’s vers
