    <description><![CDATA[<p>Shakespeare—from boring to brilliant, everyone has their thoughts. For us, those thoughts just happen to be about how gay everyone is. Join Rubie and Kirsten—two queer drama students—on their journey to uncover the inherent LGBTQ+ themes in Shakespeare’s work. Enjoy scene performances, character analysis, and a little more on thou/thine pronouns than you ever thought you needed. </p>]]></description>
