Early on Saturday morning, a group of five of us headed towards South Kensington station, excited to witness the once-in-a-lifetime event that, in a happy coincidence, occurred during our time here in London. Once at the station, we realized that we had absolutely zero clues how to get to the wedding. But fear not, we found that we could take District or Circle line to Paddington station...except that both lines were closed down. After several tube trips of trial and error, we found a roundabout path through several transfers and public sprints to Paddington station. Ready to hit the road out to Windsor, we made our final sprint (literally, through Paddington station...in heels!) to the train just as it was about to depart. After a successful train transfer, we made it to Windsor and followed the yellow brick road to the wedding of the decade.
By an extreme stroke of luck, we saw the Princess herself, Meghan Markle, driving down the roads of Windsor to the castle on her way to the ceremony. It had never really processed to me before how much of a big deal it was that Meghan Markle, a bi-racial American such as myself, was marrying into the Royal family. Her relationship with Harry broke so many barriers of class, race, nationality, and traditions previously (unspokenly) enforced by the Royal family. Their marriage was not only an amazing experience of the merger between American and British culture, but a testimony to the open-mindedness brought about by the people of the 21st century.
In another extreme stroke of luck, we were let through security last minute and ended up mere feet from the carriage as they made their way around the town after the ceremony. We were able to see history being made--especially since Meghan's family was represented solely by her mother. The Royal Wedding's impact on global culture cannot be overstated, while on our journey we met other wedding-goers from every corner of the world, every person excited about the impact the wedding would have on global viewpoints of race and acceptance.
On Saturday, the whole world's eye was on London. To be in this global city, experiencing this important historical event, is something that I will be thankful for and a story I will surely tell my children about one day. Meghan's walk down the aisle--at first alone, and then accompanied by Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, was a historic event of its own, yet it is only one small part in the grand scheme of the progressive movements made this past Saturday.
Despite the cultural differences between England and America that at first seem slight--such as keeping quiet on the tube, keeping to the left, and their tendencies to dress business attire for a night out clubbing--I felt for the first time not like an intruding outsider during my experience at the wedding. Even the reserved Brits were cheering for the couple as they passed by, everyone unashamedly waving British flags and breaking the decorum that has been in play constantly since our arrival. Our London eyes/I's were on the wedding, and I wholeheartedly believe this amazing experience gave me deeper insight into 21st-century British culture.

Sh*tfaced Shakespeare... What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
If you are looking for a Shakespearean play with lots of laughter and drinks then Sh*tfaced Shakespeare is for you! I mean who would have thought to get one cast member completely and utterly sh*tfaced before performing one of the most well known written plays in history? Well... it was a fabulous idea and made for quite the show!
Personally, I am not the biggest theater goer and do not normally study much of Shakespeare's work so I didn't know what to expect but after reading about who Sh*tfaced Shakespeare was and what they were about, I was immediately intrigued by the modern twist the cast members put on Elizabethan theatre. Our group had the pleasure of watching the cast perform "The Merchant of Venice" at the Leicester Square Theater. Given that this play is already a romantic comedy, Sh*tfaced Shakespeare made a parody out of a comedy making it even more hilarious.
The drunk twist on "The Merchant of Venice" made the entire play unique, humorous, and fun to watch. Leanna Wigginton, playing the role of Jessica, was the chosen cast member of the night. From her unexpected line outbursts to ripping off her clothes, there was always an element of surprise that made it so entertaining. Even with brief knowledge of the play's synopsis beforehand, I never knew what was coming next as the liquor and constant audience involvement added unpredictability to the performance. It was in the audience's hands to queue another drink for Wigginton and hold the bucket for her if anything "went wrong". Engaging the audience and unknowingly pulling individuals up on stage made the play even more unorthodox and comical as they were unexpectedly forced to perform. Additionally, the improvisational skills of the sober cast members was extremely impressive as they had to deal with Wigginton's drunk line mess ups and inappropriate actions all while staying in character. I have done improvisational performances before in my sixth grade drama class and I can say, it's not easy! However, the cast was able to play it off well and did a great job of incorporating all of Jessica's drunk antics into the play.
At some points during the performance, I had wondered if Wigginton was actually that intoxicated or if she was just acting. However, I got affirmation after the show when I overheard two ladies talking, one of which was Wigginton's best friend, and she had confirmed for us that she was, indeed SH*TFACED. Getting that confirmation made the performance even more unique as no single performance will ever be the same. Sh*tfaced Shakespeare was a perfect start to our trip and really set a lighthearted, fun tone to the rest of our time here. It also gave me a good feel for the life here in the United Kingdom. After watching the performance, I found a new love for theatre and Shakespeare and for anyone visiting London, I highly recommend!

Sh!t Faced Shakespeare: The Endless Laughs
The first cineTrek was about to commence, and I was replete with excitement. I had never been to any sort of comedy/parody of Shakespeare, so I knew I was in for something good. As soon as the play started, I could immediately feel the members of the audience being sucked in this unique play. As far as audience engagement, this was already quite a striking departure from most of the theatre I’ve seen in the U.S.
In my eyes, I got a sense that the English have a great deal of respect for their theatre. More so than what I’ve seen from attending American theater. The awe and admiration for the show could be felt flowing through the audience members. The cheers and laughter were flowing freely throughout the audience members, and I could tell that the cast was enjoying every second.
The stark contrast between the seriousness of the English to the hilarity of the play was another interesting point. From my limited three days of experience, I have noticed that the English are very serious. For instance, I have noticed a lot of the English people seem to have an almost disgruntled look to them and do not ever really say hi or smile. There have been a few exceptions, but those exceptions are just that. I thought this seriousness would somehow seep in the performance of the comedy, but I was very mistaken. The actors were all having the greatest of times performing and being really funny. I find this point to be salient because it might mark a sort of link between the greatness in English theatre and the seriousness of the people. One the one hand, it allows the English to become fully engrossed and committed to the plays that they do, as was the case with Shitfaced Shakespeare. All of the actors performed incredibly, and their improv timing was uncanny. I think this stems from the sort of way they hold and present themselves. The English seem to really dial into their work, which translates into exceptional theatre.
Overall, this experience allowed me to gain insight into some of the differences between American and British theater.
Cinetrek #1: Sh*tfaced Shakespeare
Warm and sunny are not words usually used to describe London, but Sh*tfaced is not usually a word used to describe Shakespeare. Both of these occurrences rang true on Friday when our London group trekked through the town to witness The Merchant of Venice...but sh*tfaced. Sh*tfaced Shakespeare juxtaposes tradition and modernism by taking a treasured piece of rich English history and presenting it in a way more appealing to more people in the modern day. The concept behind it appeals to an entirely different audience than those who would watch a traditional Shakespeare play, and that is part of what makes it so great. The other part of what makes it so great is, in our experience, Bombay Sapphire and a few bottles of beer.
Although not closely familiar with The Merchant of Venice, I had a rough summary idea of the plot beforehand. It would be an understatement to say my predispositions of Shakespeare have been blown away. Interpretations such as "She's the Man" for "Twelfth Night" have made Shakespearean literature easier for the average modern mind to consume, but Sh*tfaced Shakespeare draws an entirely novel appeal for an international audience. From start to finish, the crowd was enthralled with the actor's improvisational skills and amazed at their ability to seamlessly break the fourth wall while maintaining the magic of the play.
The crowd's instruments and the impromptu addition of the "monkey" provided novelty ways for the actors to keep the crowd actively involved, and the actress playing Jessica's performance was a blend of raunchy and self-depreciating humor. Despite her cognitive impairment, she was able to maintain several running jokes. The uniqueness of Sh*tfaced Shakespeare lies in its ability to be similar yet different: while the plot remains (mostly) the same, the script can go any number of ways for added twists individual to every show. While most plays are practiced and rehearsed to absolute perfection, the incidents and mess ups made by actors in this play are part of what makes it so great and sets it apart from most plays at London's world famous West End. Additionally, the choice to move Jessica to a more major character in Merchant of Venice raised questions of whether it was an impromptu choice or if the play is engineered to give the sh*tfaced actor a majority of the screen time. One of my favorite scenes was when the actress playing Jessica broke the fourth wall and started talking about the actor playing Bassanio's personal life, not only because it humanized the actors but because it became a running joke used by all the actors throughout the rest of the play. The actress playing Jessica's faux pas of breaking the fourth wall to reveal Bassanio's personal life and preferences related to the idea in Ways of Seeing that "Shame is of the spectator, and not of each other". While this was intended to reference Adam and Eve, its application to Sh*tfaced Shakespeare in this specific occurrence cannot be overstated. The actors, who are used to seeing each other sh*tfaced due to the nature of their work, were extremely comfortable with one another and were able to play off each other's reactions. The shame, and subsequent entertainment, of the audience, was not shared by the actors. We felt uncomfortable because we were spectators--we did not share the personal connection that they did and therefore felt intrusive seeing Jessica in such an unabashedly honest way. The traditionally social event of drinking was turned into a public performance, instead of being an intimate conversation between friends the setting became a stage, and with it came a willingness to bare her personal life to a few hundred people she had no prior connection with.
While many in the audience questioned the authenticity of her drunkness, not because of her acting ability but because of the nature of the play, we received confirmation afterward when overhearing one of the actor's close friends talking about how entertaining it was to see the actor that sh*tfaced. After knowing that the performance was completely real, improvisational, and unquestionable hilarious, I have absolutely zero criticisms to make and a world of positive reviews to say about Sh*tfaced Shakespeare. It was an amazing way to begin my trip in London and an experience I surely will never forget.

Let’s get Sh*t Faced
And just like that we were off on our first CineTrek! As the group was traveling to Leicester Square, I found myself thinking about why people enjoy viewing theater so much. And of all plays Shakespeare? What was it about the identities that people perform that captures the audience's attention? How could this phenomenon of this play could be translated through alcohol into something that has a divine charismatic aroma to it? How was the performance going to project an art with its already established history of culture and excellence? What was going to be necessary to capture and engage the audience through a narrative with a stimulating spin?
Shakespeare is one of the most well known English poets and authors, and his identity is still demonstrated throughout plays across the world. However, I did not know much about the Merchant of Venice, which was the romantic comedy play that we saw. After doing a little research on top of watching the play, the Merchant of Venice is about Bassanio, a young noble of Venice who wants impress the “wealthy heiress Portia of Belmont” (Royal Shakespeare Company.. my linked citation) In this anti Semitic thematic demonstration, Bassanio asks his wealthy merchant friend Antonio to help him impress Portia by loaning him money, but ends up asking a Jewish moneylender instead.
Shit Faced Shakespeare puts a comical and modern twist on the dramatic writing of the Merchant of Venice. It lightened the mood and really added an extra aspect that made the play enjoyable and lead the audience wanting more. Audience expectation is a huge part of any sort of writing, and the environment in which a play is performed is critical to the review of those watching. When the character Jessica came out on stage, it was clear she was the actress who was shit faced. Jessica is the daughter of the Jewish Shylock who is in love with the Christian, Antonio. Jessica hates her life at her father's house, so she runs off to marry Antonio. The controversy she faces throughout the themes of the play, was not the only drama she was stirring up on stage. Her singing, facial expressions, sexual suggestions, and all out bluntness made the audience continuously giggle, and challenged the other actors to respond to her instability. By engaging the audience the way she did, it made a positive impact on our experience. I would suggest that if an audience member was not into alcohol or sexual innuendos, they wouldn’t have found the play entertaining or amusing. Fortunately for me, I do find those two aspects hilarious so it really worked for me.
This spectacle was perfect for implementing the importance of improvisation. If the other actors or actresses were not able to improvise as well as they did, the play would not have worked. If they had gone along just finishing their lines and not responding to Jessica’s drunkness, it would have been an awkward performance and it would not have had the same impact on the audience. Not knowing what was going to come out of Jessica’s mouth made the other performers act quickly under pressure and somewhat made the play non-rehearsed. This entertaining aspect of it shows the ability of the other members of the cast to ACT on what is currently happening which can be a difficult thing to accomplish when thinking about what line must come next.
This showing of Shakespeare called upon a piece of literature that was portrayed as a different interpretation of how many typically view the play. It pushes the typical audience member to enjoy Shakespeare in a different way but also grow an appreciation for drama/theater/art in a comedic form. This production thrives on destroying the average interpretation of Shakespeare and instead creates something that explores the boundaries of being too exploitative.
I found that this modern twist on Shakespeare culture was a fun and creative way to reenact such a historical story. Beyond how hilarious it was, it was a great start that set the scene for the culture of British life and the enlightenment of a different society than what we all may be used to. I am looking forward to seeing what else is to come on this trip!

#1 CineTrek Blog: Sh*tfaced Shakespeare
It’s was a beautiful, surprisingly warm, day in London (what a perfect first day to explore)! Although most of us were pretty jet lagged, our excitement was able to mask most of our tiredness. After roaming around our new home, our eager group moved its way down to Leicester Square Theatre for our opening CineTrek, Sh*tfaced Shakespeare. Not knowing what to expect (nor knowing much of anything about Shakespeare, sorry Bill), I grabbed a beer at the theatre’s bar, took my seat, and sat back anticipating the show. What I witnessed next was pretty astonishing and most definitely HILARIOUS. However, I found it slightly saddening that |I and countless others enjoyed watching someone get belligerently drunk rather than the actual play. I think this gave me further insight into the American and millennial culture I am apart of.
The original play that the Sh*tfaced Shakespeare group mocked is called, The Merchant of Venice. Prior to the show, I googled a synopsis of the original play in hopes to better understand what was going on. Despite my research, I was a bit confused to start off the show, but once the drunk actress, Jessica, came out, much of my confusion vanished. The entire first few minutes of the show I was trying to figure out which member was drunk. I had a hunch it was Antonio, but once Jessica stumbled out repeating her “sex party” line, I knew it had to be her.
Although I vaguely knew the story line, I found myself to be more focused on how drunk the “chosen” actress was. Feeling bubbly from my beer, laughter poured out of me after nearly every line Jessica spat out. It was very entertaining to watch her attempt to get through the play and also listen to the crowd's reactions. There were a few rowdy audience members who would scream out, “Drink more!” when she wasn’t being funny enough or following her lines too closely. Aside from that, the crowd was well behaved and fully invested in the show.
It was intriguing to watch how much pressure was put on the drunk actress.The majority of the entertainment factor was reliant on how drunk and funny she could be. Although the other actors were important and tried very hard to stay true to the play, it was evident Jessica had to work the hardest, or maybe the least hardest in some eyes.
Following the show, our professor, Bill, asked us to reflect on what makes this show entertaining to the public. From my perspective, I found watching Jessica the most entertaining factor. Although I admire Shakespeare's work, I don’t think I would pay money to see the same show without the “sh*tfaced” factor. I’m sure many avid Shakespeare fans would have thoroughly enjoyed either show (drunk or not) so I would say it depends on the audience member. That being said, the majority of the audience members who are my age seemed to of thought the same thing. Our professor asked us for any critiques regarding the play. I’d say it was pretty hard to critique what we saw because all of us had similar reactions: it was hilarious. However, I do have a few critiques for myself and my generation.
Shakespeare's work, although old and sometimes hard to follow, is beautiful and should continue to be taught and cherished as the masterpiece it is. I wish my generation would give a bit more thought on things of the past than constantly focusing on the "now" and the "new". I think many "new" things can actually unravel from Shakespeare's work and teach us more than we may of thought about past and present societies.
I would 100% see another one of the Sh*tfaced Shakespeare shows but I will try harder to admire our next show, Hamlet, in its original form.

CineTrek 1- Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare- Alexis Hopper
Alexis Hopper
Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare
On Friday May 18th, the excited and jet lagged group of London Rocks summer 2018 headed over to our first group event of the abroad experience. Buzzing on the adrenaline of being in a foreign place was one of the reasons that made this first experience so exciting. The lack of sleep was rough but we pushed through. I was rather excited that we would be watching one of my favorite plays written by Shakespeare. I am a Shakespeare advocate so I was interested to see how this added twist of one of the actors being not just drunk but border line on the ground would go. The play being performed was Merchant of Venice, and in this the plot of the story is rather simple but the overall satire throughout the developing story makes for a offensively, hilarious classic that has come to be top 5 of my favorite Shakespeare works. The only thing better than a Shakespeare comedy is a Shakespeare comedy with copious amounts of alcohol. The play began and I found myself thinking more about who was the actor that drank the alcohol rather than what was actually happening in the play. Usually, I would not enjoy this because I love traditional Shakespeare but in this case it was rather refreshing to see a twist on a classic. It was obvious that the character playing Jessica was the pegged actor who consumed the alcohol. This made for a significant change in the play because myself as an audience member was automatically more interested in what she was doing. This added factor for me made Jessica the “main” character in this version of the Merchant of Venice, simply because her actions were more demanding than her sober co-stars. In the original play one could argue that the main character are Shylock and Antonio but because of Jessica’s drunk improve this play had a hilarious added element. I was pleasantly surprised that despite a lot of fluffed improved the actors gracefully maneuvered as best they could to stay true to the original plot. Overall, they made this already comedic comedy more fun and exciting.
Our professor told us to think about what makes this particular event entertaining to the public. I remember him asking do we pay money to watch a Shakespeare play or do we pay money to watch an actor or actress get drunk and perform for our pleasure and comedy niche. My answer to this question is both. I am sure that different people would have different answers but for me I love Shakespeare and I honestly love traditional Shakespeare but let’s be real, most people do not enjoy classical plays. The added element of a drunk actor and creating room for improve keeps the audience on their toes and for me keeps me interested on what is going to change. As previously mentioned this was refreshingly awesome and I appreciated how hard the actors tried to stick to the original plot despite the obstacles. There is no room in this for criticism because they give you what you pay for and it was a wonderful experience.
