I regret to remind you that the guy behind Gandalf is really, really gay.
How gay do you ask?
Yes, because this is exactly what the world needs. Exactly what Shakespeare would want.
The Lord of the Rings star, 86, will join in on the one-night only rehearsed reading by the theatre group 'Trans What You Will' in July.
Staged at London's The Space Theatre, the reading will be broadcast globally via a livestream. All profits are going to the UK-based trans charity, 'Not A Phase.'
The performance will take one of Shakespeare's most well known and gender-fluid works and reimagine it through a trans lens.
I can't even comprehend how stupid this idea is.
How gay it is.
'With mistaken identities, cross-dressing, and declarations of love across shifting gender roles, Twelfth Night has long explored the complexity of identity,' a press release reads.
'This production makes that queerness explicit, reclaiming the story through the lived experiences of trans and nonbinary artists.'
