Act III, Scene II, March XV, MMXXVI

Yeah, yeah I'm a nerd for Shakeaspeare, shutup. You get two today

First of all ima remind everyone if you've got a southern accent and want me to buy you a burger or a beer, I pay for soliloquies in accents. I mean shit it doesn't need to be a southern accent, but Shakespeare in relatable modern accents does make it easier for people to digest. (I have this co worker at the DX school who has this straight up Jersey Shore accent and I bought him like six slices to do Act five, scene five from Macbeth (the tomorrow and tomorrow one, you know it) and fuck it hit hard.

And this one is in slang you gen x kids use which is gen z which is just silly to write but it's also great in a really funny way - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxPHgUGPPPB/

I mean "I'm not here to clap back at Brutus, who we all know is dank" just - like, Terry thought i was dying this morning because I could not fucking stop laughing

your wish is my command.

In Lawyer Voice or New York voice? because #options

[xp_wildchild]

well, it's a dialog not a monolog so now I gotta go bribe someone to be the butcher so idk pick one but either is good

[xp_daredevil]

[xp_emplate]

If it's anything to do with speaking at length I'm more than happy to oblige, but never in my life have my declamations been accused of making any topic "more relatable".

I mean I still have you doing Winter of our Discontent from the last time I whined about this at you, but if you wanna make King Lear even MORE incomprehensible go for it
