Really enjoy Twelth Night. Same experience most times with Big Will - start watching, fail to tune in for about half an hour, begin to nod off, suddenly start to get invested before the intermission, have a drink whilst googling synopsis/reading programme to get caught up, all good from there.

Genuine opinion on Billy S is that I like the serious ones but think the daft ones are fucking stupid. Midsummer Night’s Dream is a piece of shit.

Often feel like it takes an act at least for my brain to sync into the language so I could really do with like a b-play that ran before any Shakespeare to prime my brain so I don’t miss half the opening acts’ subtleties

That’s the wonderful thing about R&J, it essentially is a comedy until the death of Mercutio, and even the ending plays out as a black mirror version of how a comedy should go.

There’s a new (apparently really shit) film she was in earlier this year. Unrelated to your actual Serenity
