Reader, you won’t believe me, but I tell you that not only did I regularly forget I was watching a film instead of the live performance, but I forgot there was only one actor — even when he was actively talking to himself. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Nobody: …. My brain: For all its full-on-cringy-cheese, Mannequin was kinda progressive. Shakespearean farce, sex-positive, agency for all. Plus, it has some of the most painfully stereotypical caricatures of queer men and empowered women. It’s downright archetypal for an 80’s rom-com.

"Tussendoortjes" is de nieuwe "handsokken"

the Dutch word for snacks is "tussendoortje" and it more literally translates to "little in-betweens".

(the general answer from the teacher: enough Dutch theatre patrons speak English that they probably don't bother much. Also translating poetry is very hard)

In yesterday's dutch lesson about negatives, we were asked to complete this line: "Zijn of ___ zijn? Dat is de vraag." Wherefore art though (niet) Iambic pentameter? Spurred by a flashback to performing Moliere in rhyming English couplets, I wondered how/if Shakespeare is translated to Dutch:
