Why is Antigone sorting out everyone else's shit? Antigone might have had things she wanted to do with her life, but no, she's busy sorting all the men out, making sure they all feel listened to and respected and Ismene, shit, has anyone seen Ismene?!?!
Greek plays are a bit weird, only one character is blind but they all have blind faith! And again - how is this not a comedy?! Who would you cast in our stage version of Oedipus?
Welcome back! We have missed cackling at ridiculous stories so much! What the fuck are Greek plays? This had us cracking up! Join us as we find out what Oedipus has been up to since he got banished for being gross.
Well, that was... surreal... how is this not comedy?? Well, it all just goes to shit tbh, but in the most weird way, just listen, I think this is one of the most bizarre texts we've looked at.
Also! We are going to be taking a short break, but will be resuming the Theban Plays here on 19th May! But don't worry, we will be around before then! Tonight we are doing a livestream on Twitch with N'Calma and we will be doing Instagram lives too! Make sure to keep an eye on our Instagram for those
So I (Marsha) read The Theban Plays at school, but fuck, I did not remember how batshit they are! Descend into the surreal with us as we take a look at the festering faeces pile that is Oedipus' life!
Suicide TW for this episode!
Sorry, but how awful are these main characters?! I mean Rebecca is problematic for sure, but DW - you savage!!!! And obviously Maxim is 100% trashy trash, bin, now!
That being said, how fun was this book! Thank you so much for listening along with us! We've had so much fun and cant wait to start The Theban Plays!
The world of comedy took a hard hit this week, thank you for all the laughs Paul Ritter, you will be so missed.
In the world of Rebecca, Jaysus! It's all kicking off! Danny has properly lost it, what's the deal with the boat in the bay? And also lol, sorry for some reason we spoke about The Amber Spyglass for ages, skip that bit if you don't want spoilers!
Slipper hands! Why the fuck are there slipper hands!???
Shit goes down in this episode AND oh my, racism trigger warning! Lots of rants in this one, but also, so much fucking drama!! Strap in guys, put your slippers on your hands - you're in for one hell of a ride!
Uggggghhhhh my insides crunch at this episode! DW 2.0, stahhhpppppp!!! Everyone stop, and Maxim jump in the sea, and why do families still need to identify their loved ones bodies when photos are a thing???????
Well DW 2.0 is the house! Manderley to be specific, and it's not smooth sailing at all. Join us as we see what cringe and horrors are awaiting!
As we all know, it has been a ridiculous couple of weeks for women, our thoughts are with Sarah Everard's loved ones, she should have been safe and gotten home. And due to that, a lot of this episode is us discussing the police brutality we've seen, the attitudes of men and anything else we needed to get off our chests. Thank you for giving us this platform to discuss these important issues.
