Toheeb Jimoh as Romeo and Isis Hainsworth as Juliet in the Almeida Theater’s new production of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Credit: Marc Brenner
...this production from Rebecca Frecknall — the buzzy British director whose shows tend to scoop up Olivier awards — treats the often overly familiar play as if it were entirely fresh, and the result is astonishing.
...Her “Romeo and Juliet,” performed without an intermission, begins with the cast clawing feverishly at a stage wall, onto which are projected crucial lines from the prologue. But as if in haste to get straight to the meat of the play, the wall soon collapses to reveal the citizenry of Verona mid-combat. Danger, you feel from the start, is the default mode of a contemporary-seeming milieu amid which Juliet is described by her father as “a stranger in the world.” That is perhaps because she hasn’t yet experienced life’s abrasions; such an awareness will come — and how — with time.
...It’s fascinating, too, to see the balcony scene reconfigured so that Romeo is perched atop a ladder addressing Juliet center-stage, flipping the play’s iconic imagery.

dating kevin schlieb hdcns
tw- swearing, slight nsfw, gn reader but a mention of a hairtie, spiders, a mention of weed/smoking, reader sits on kevins lap, i think thats all?
- once kevin started dating you he always had at least one hair tie on his wrist for you
- he usually wakes up before you
- likes being the little spoon but won’t admit it so spooning is rarely your go to cuddle position
- he kills the spiders in the winter for you
-“nooo you killed him!”
“well would you want it to stay in here and have webs all over?”
“no but you could’ve just picked him up and put him out of the window!”
- before you started dating he wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that he liked you but was too scared to actually ask you out so you asked him out first
- he loves seeing you wear his clothes
- you mostly wear his shirts tho bc he just revolves aroud the same two pairs of pants
- ‘forcing’ hunter to get kevin tripp pants bc those are expensive as fuck and you are not getting them yourself
- he’d be a mix between a fun parent and responsible parent
- so like “if you wanna smoke, smoke weed. but dont do it behind my back, come to me so you dont get stuff thats laced with crap” yk?
- whenever your room gets way too messy he cleans it for you and you get kinda upset, feeling bad that he might’ve felt ‘forced’ to do it
- “you didnt need to clean it i knew where everything was!”
- definitely a switch
- sometimes power bottom sometimes not
- cums just from making you cum
- rly soft relationship but still teasing eachother at the same time
- “you’re supposed to change the sticks before they break asshole”
- “to be fair no one told me!”
- painting his nails all the time
- loves having you sit in his lap just because
- theres a chair? no there’s not. you can just sit in his lap
- hunter makes fun of him for it all the time but he doesn’t care
