gonna do my own adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that's entirely the same except the poison scene goes on for a bit longer. Juliet drinks the poison that makes her go to sleep but Romeo drinks poison that supposedly kills him but it's actually a mislabeled vial of the first poison so Juliet wakes up and drinks some of that poison and then Romeo wakes up and is like "oh shit this poison doesn't work, here Juliet has some poison!" and he drinks that which is of course the go to sleep poison and then Juliet wakes up again and is like "What the fuck" and then Benvolio comes in and is like "My boy Romeo is poisoned! I'll join you bro." and now he's asleep, and then Juliet is like "I need some wine to process this" - Drinks out of the poisoned cup Romeo poured sleeping in and then Romeo wakes up again and is like "JULIET AND BENVOLIO?!" and he's so pissed but also confused and is like mentally 'well if drinking this poison twice brought my friends here i guess i'll drink it again and see what happens' and then Juliet wakes up again and she's like "Okay hold on. Let's see how this plays out" but she can't because then Fortinbras shows up and is like "I'm invading Verona! Fuck you!!!" but then Juliet splashes some sleeping poison in his face and he's out now and then Romeo wakes up and Benvolio dies because he was allergic to sleep poison and also the lion from Pyramus and Thisbe comes and kills them both The End

Happy birthday to the one and only David Tennant!
This is my second contribution to the @dtfanzine (digital zine available)! Absolutely adored his version of Hamlet and I was so thrilled I got to paint this tribute to the play! Obviously I had to include the skull and the castle, both are iconic elements to the play. By the way, did you know the castle in the background is the real deal? It’s the Kronborg castle, in Denmark aka Elsinore.
Prints are available in my INPRNT (for anyone outside Europe) and my Ko-Fi.
