[ricardians]

what do you think about the woke tragedy of richard iii?

anon i am going to kiss you on the mouth. thank you for bringing this to my attention.

i had never heard of this until now, so reading this, i really did think i’d gone insane. but after a short google, this is the most amusing adaptation i’ve ever heard of. shakespeare would approve. hell, richard himself would probably approve.

happy pride month to richard iii dyke of gloucester
