Working for the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) has its perks 😃

The hot new thing on Tumblr was the 2008 Royal Shakespeare Company production of King Lear with Ian McKellen, so every meme and reaction image was just screencaps from King Lear.

The play "Born With Teeth" by Liz Duffy Adams is coming to London's West End this summer, starting Ncuti Gatwa as Kit Marlow and Edward Bluemel as William Shakespeare.

The moment I saw the extremely gay promotional image, I knew I had to add the lines from the play it's referring to.

ID: Edward Bluemel as William Shakespeare and Ncuti Gatwa as Kit Marlow in a promotional image for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Gatwa stares into the camera with dispassionate power, holding Bluemel to him like a possession with one many-ringed hand. With eyes closed, Bluemel clutches Gatwa hand to his mouth and seductively bites his fingers as if they are a perfect summer peach soon to spoil. Their eyes and Bluemel's mouth peak between the lines.

Caption reads:

Kit: Why do you stop?

Will: I think it would be like petting a leopard. Lovely for a moment, until the teeth flash out.

Kit: What a compliment. Do you think I'd bite you?

Will: I think you would devour me.

End ID.

My partner and I saw it at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2024 and it was incredible. Unapologeticly "Blorbos from my dissertation." OSF brings in a lot of student groups, and it was delightful hearing the AO3 girlies in the audience gasp and giggle as the tension heated up. 12/10 stars.

Ncuti Gatwa's masterful performance in "The Importance Of Being Ernest" at the National Theater feels like it will translate perfectly into this role as dangerous, seductive, arrogant, & devilishly smart fuckboi Kit trying to seduce Will to the rockstar lifestyle of a famous Elizabethan playwright.
