'Moiments' : Shakespeare's 12th Night

Okay, so I'm not your average logophile right but just wait on it. I mean I did well in my English literature and all but books are not usually bae... Although this is a hard fact of my life for some odd reason I've always loved Jane Austen. In all honesty I just love anything and everything period drama (I know it's a movie genre but it's the only way I can describe it),  it just appeals to me. There was a time in high school I'd said if I had to go back to any place in time it would be during Georgian society, just like in JA's novels. Everyone looked at me like 'wheeeettt'... So many literature un-lovers nowadays hey, looool...

Anyway less about that. This post is Shakespeare inspired. Another great, English based, literature legend! (<- alliteration, see I did learn something). 

So late July I took a trip down to beautiful Oxford. It's such a cute place, especially when it's sunny! Amongst a hoard of other things I managed to find myself at an evening theatre performance of Shakespeare's 12th Night. Not only was paying for a ticket to go see an actual play something completely new to me but this specific play was outside...

In all honesty when I first walked in I had to tell myself to have an open mindset. This was completely new to me so I shouldn't have had a preconceived notion of what it would be like. 

My overall opinion is that this was an absolutely awesome experience. The actors outdid themselves! A lot of them had to play more than one role and the way they approached it was so professional. I found myself imagining living as each of the characters; playing the role of Cesario, lady Olivia, Maria and the list goes on... I would one hundred percentage recommend people to go see more plays and not just in the theatre. Sometimes you just need to try something new and enjoy a play in the outdoors! 

Fun fact (according to Me, Truth): Did you know all the characters in 12th Night are the ones in the movie 'She's The Man' starring Amanda Bynnes. Same plot and errrthang... (Just with a better looking (Duke) Orsino )

LOVE - peace & all things sugary!
