☕️theatre? You've had interesting opinions on the couple of plays you've mentioned...

Big topic!!

Btw, I signed up for another round of drama 'classes', so very relevant.

I love theater, been introduced to it as a child and I think it really should be a bigger part of children's education, way more widespread. I want drama clubs to be as essential for any schools libraries (arts general to be funded better as well). Schools should cooperate with local theaters and get children to see plays several times a year etc, starting from puppetry and up to weird, experimental stuff.

Community theaters should also be funded and where there aren't any comrades should come together and start one. Honestly, this is not me trying to elevate theater as the most important art form or something, it's not better or worse than others, but it is essentially an opportunity for all ages to play pretend and involve their whole body in silliness and healthy tomfoolery. That's aside from the power of storytelling and outreach and shakespeare in prisons and all of that highly important yada yada, we all know and love that. We should do more of it. To be honest, I don't really get the snarky comments about theater kids (though people who focus heavily on european theatre and DO try to elevate it as supreme art form etc of course are at risk of letting their discrimination sully their art, you know).

And I firmly believe that there should be theaters for all occasions and all expectations of what genre of even it is – like with restaurants, sometimes you want a fancy meal and sometimes you want street food. Theater should 100% be versatile and accessible, it should include much more ethnic and body diversity and I think age/gender/race-blind castings are a great idea as long as everyone involved is not making 'guy in a dress' type of joke underneath.

The plays I've seen recently were Translations – a very popular play in Ireland, and a Ukrainian production was an interesting twist on it. I think I have a post on it somewhere in this attic of my blog.

The more recent one I saw just last month was And Then There None – I wrote a post but it was a rambling mess and I deleted it. I like the story (am aware of the racist original name and Christie's general issues with racism and orientalism) but also Christie truly killed the story when she rewrote it as a play with a happy ending. It becomes a vaguely thiller-esque comedy basically, and early films based on it treat it exactly this way. They play I saw didn't do that, but I feel like the play is still not the best medium for this particular story, it was rushed and the descent into paranoid madness feels very artificial. Actors were okay, it was the packed itinerary of deaths that was rushing them along. They made a couple of characters gay, and idk, it was fine, but also comedied them down. I don't know how I feel about this. It could have been better. Stage design was good. Also I'm heavily biased about this piece because the best production so far that I've seen has been a ussr 2-part movie that hits every point and is evisceratingly good, so it's hard to top. I have more feelings about the book itself but I should get a separate ask to ramble about that.

☕️ ronance!

another ship! which fortunately probably won't be a ramble disaster like edancy

okay so i do ship them. probably for the same reason i sort of do eddie and nancy, in that they would be an odd pairing and it would require a lot of patience for each other to blossom into a relationship. and maybe i'm a sucker for slowburn. and different personalities. and the potential for two people to grow together.

i have seen a lot of counterarguments for the ship and i think they do raise a lot of points. i think one thing i think about when writing my own ronance fic (band au you will always be famous) is that there is that thing about how robin knows what nancy's relationship to steve was like through steve's point of view. so there would be hesitation, wariness, the grappling with not wanting to act on something that could jeopardize a beloved friendship. i don't read enough ronance to really know if this is at all an issue that's brought up or not. i know there's always the sexuality struggle that could be an exploration, much like in steddie fics. (which i haven't read much of those either i stopped reading so many fics bc i'm too focused on writing them at the moment)

i also really appreciate ronance in a strictly platonic sense as well. i think that nancy really hasn't had a friend, specifically a girl friend if you wanna get gender specific ig, since barb. for kinda a good reason it would feel like if she did, they could die. i mean they got fred right? so it's nice, and lowkey refreshing, for nancy to have a friendship or dynamic with someone other than the person she's dating or has feelings for. i have a very strong love for platonic dynamics in shows. i mean steve & robin are my favorite dynamic and the stars of my favorite scene in the series, i love friendships!! so when nancy shyly asked if this means we're friends i fucking cheered bc yes. they should be friends. and maybe if not written by the duffers, robin could have been like hey maybe don't. with the stancy thing... we all saw it. it was weird.

anyway i said i was going to talk less so I'm stopping there. thank you for coming to my acey talk I'll be here all week

send me a topic + ☕️ emoji and i’ll tell my honest opinion about it!
