Sir Ian McKellen to open historic all-trans and nonbinary production of Twelfth Night

What's this, a trans reading of my favorite Shakespeare play, fundraising for my favorite trans charity (the one that brings me that "trans gym" thing I'm always talking about)?

And there's a livestream so I can stay covid-safe? And you can watch from anywhere (for two weeks after the live performance)?

I've already got my ticket!

Sadly it so coincides with a committee meeting that I wouldn't be able to watch within 24 hours. I'm delighted it's getting such attention, though: one of the organisers is a friend.

The site claims

If you are unable to watch the stream live, your ticket will also grant you access for a period of two weeks after the performance on the 25th of July

Also the content note is "Shakespearean humor"!

Ah, excellent! Thank you.

Oh that's my fault for either misreading it or not knowing it'd changed since I first read it! Good news, thanks.

What fun!

Sold!

(might have a re-listen to the musical adaptation by Shaina Taub)

Reposted and bought a ticket! I'm thinking of organizing some kind of pretend viewing party where whenever someone watches it they can post a comment or something

[cosmolinguist]

Love this idea. :)

[rmc28]

Love this plan - I almost certainly can't watch it at live time but hopefully in the next few days

[radiantfracture]

Sweet! I will make an open post for it when the day comes.

That looks like a lovely production, and I'm glad to see that of the livestream "performances," three of them have already been SOLD OUT, so there's definitely interest.
