The main character. Theseus, the Duke of Athens, has generally been portrayed as a stem but loving man. and in this production, he becomes a pillow-fighting kind-hearted monarch. Members of his court, generally very proper lords and ladies, are now chain-smoking Jersey-accented gents and dames.

"It's got a lot of stuff that students can relate to," cast member Ainslcy Shroder said. The story has many whimsical ideas as well, such as feuding fairy rovaltv and a man cursed with a donkey head. Throughout the play, characters get magical flower juice in their eyes and have a mistaken love identity crisis. However, they are all able to enjoy a ridiculously awful "play within a play" after everything is sorted out in the end. There have been numerous takes on many of Shakespeare's plays, such as the big screen contemporary fang war version of "Romeo Juliet" released in 1 9. Cox did this particular version as an independent project with the entire play designed as something that could proudly be performed for peers and faculty alike. "It's a student-directed piece, so I think students should come and support it," said Carleton Bluford, another cast member. Everyone involved was able to flex their thespian muscles, show that they could do something on their own and make it great without the dominant overseeing eye of an administrative presence. All while keeping the same storyline and script, but still giving it a fresh twist. "I think independent student projects arc a big part of what keeps educational theater alive," Cox said.
