I just boarded my first plane back to Arkansas and I can’t lie, fighting tears on public transport is embarrassing. I am listening to “Birds of A Feather,” by Billie Eilish, eating Cadbury sticks, and reminiscing on the wonderful times I shared with you wonderful folks. After our last day in London, we took a …

Bluets: Film??
Bluets One of the most interesting pieces of theatre I have ever seen. Bluets, currently being presented at the Royal Court Theatre, is an adaption on the book “Bluets”, written by Maggie Nelson. The book is made up of prose and poetry, all talking about the color blue. Or should I say, the obsession with …
Bluets, filmmaking right in front of you
As someone who has seen very little theater, before this trip I don’t know if I’d ever seen a live piece of art that truly moved me. In fact, I’d argue nearly every piece of art that has truly evoked some serious emotion from me has either been from the written word (Poems, Books, etc) …
So Long London, for now.
Stratford felt like Fayetteville if it had a canal, swans, cottages, and a more impressive botanical scene. Shakespeare’s historical dwellings were amazing to see, even if I am not his biggest fan I could appreciate the man who pioneered plenty of the literature and theatre we see today. Becoming more familiar with his history and …
“Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow”
Hello again, all!! And also goodbye because this is my final blog in England. (Sad, I know. I’m sure you will all miss my ramblings.) I’m not ready to admit it’s the end, so I shall continue to live in denial as I write about our experiences one final time. We have spent the last …
King Lear in Ukrainian: Fitting For An Anthropology Major

Watching a show in a foreign language that I have absolutely zero experience with was confusing at first, but as it went on gave me a deeper appreciation for the play as …

Parting London Is Such Sweet Sorrow
To cry or not to cry, that is the question. Whether tis’ better to shed my sorrowful tears of having to leave this great country in front of the class, or save my sadness for the plane ride home and turn it off. I am forever changed by this class in the absolute best way. …
I think it just hit me:'(
Stratford-Upon-Avon. What an amazing little town. It’s so incredibly rich in history as it’s obviously the home town of arguably the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare. And lemme tell you, there is not a shortage of Shakespeare memorabilia here. Everywhere you look, you see that man’s face. It’s practically unavoidable. The architecture of …
Just a see you later <3
Tears incoming I don’t know how to begin to describe this trip and what it has done for me as a person. So I’m not even going to try for fear of uncontrollable crying. Stratford was perfect. You know how “hole in the wall” restaurants are always the best? That’s how I would describe Stratford …
Король Лір
King Lear was a crazy experience for me. I was honestly probably too excited to see this production and was actually disappointed when I learned it wasn’t the whole show. HA. Call me crazy. I just love the show and was so curious to see what they were going to do with it. I really …
