first play queen smells like farts

How did we not know about this??? We SO would have auditioned!

The play, “Ye Bare and Ye Cubbe”, which was performed in a tavern in Virginia, broke many laws. First, the performance of a play is a crime. Second, it was performed on the Sabbath. Lastly, it is a politically charged play that supposedly pokes fun at the crown of England.

The cast was soon arrested and forced to perform the play in court. Thankfully, the court ruled the play harmless.

We just lovveee the theater!!! Shakespeare is our God! Not literally, of course. We don’t go to church to pray to Shakespeare

LOLOLOL.
