Contradictio in Terminis

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fatima and I just got back from seeing the Dream in High Park*. ♥ SO MUCH LOVE! This year, they're doing Romeo and Juliet, and it is absolutely phenomenal. It doesn't have as much of a funky, hip-hop twist as some other years (like A Midsummer Night's Dream), but that's ok, because it's a tragedy, and I think it's better suited to a more reserved style anyway. Not that the word "reserved" factors into this performance in any way, shape, or form. The actors were all fantastic and full of energy, and they each played multiple parts, so I was quite impressed that they were able to remember their lines so easily. THE ACTORS WHO PLAYED ROMEO AND JULIET WERE SOOOOO GOOD, YOU GUYS! Ahhhhhh, I loved them! They really brought their enthusiasm to the stage, and everything played off really, really well.

No, seriously. I don't have enough compliments in my arsenal for this. ♥ ♥ Even though the ending is tragic (basically the entire audience was close to tears), the journey is really actually awesome, and ;lasdkf;laksdjf;asd I NEED MORE OF THIS IN MY LIFE.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has an evening free. It's two hours long, but the time went by way too quickly. It's pay what you can, so it's not like there's an exorbitant fee attached, and it's a ridicuawesome show. Fatima and I have decided we're going again sometime soon, and I can't fucking wait~ :D

*How much do I love that I live within walking distance of awesome stuff like this? SO MUCH.
