The Cast of Still Star-Crossed
Still Star-Crossed Appreciation Week: Why You Love the Show
Still Star-Crossed has absolutely enthralled me. Since the very first scene, I knew I was starting once in a life experience that I was going to thoroughly enjoy, and indeed I did. This show and the cast deserve everything in the world and I’m very thankful to them for giving me the opportunity to once again get excited about the wonderful story, to meet new friends, and to let me see that there’s a possibility for better future where there is no place for racism, misogyny, and homophobia. The diverse cast did a wonderful job – they allowed me to see a group of people who are fond of one another, but mostly so talented and mesmerizing that I couldn’t take my eyes of them, every emotion acted out in such details that their actions are believable and understandable. Lashana Lynch proved to be an excellent actress, her face is so expressive and without pretence as if she truly was Rosaline Capulet with all her ferocity, sorrow, affection and love. Wade Briggs presented the character of Benvolio with indescribable honesty, showing us a good man, letting him be vulnerable without taking anything of his strength and character. Sterling Sulieman performed Prince Escalus with inner turmoil always readable on his face and Medalion Rahimi played his sister Princess Isabella, whose posture always resonated with unquestionable ability to rule Verona. But I must include everyone else as well because there truly was no weak link; all the actors were perfect fits for their roles and all the performances were utterly breathtaking. Most of all, I’m forever grateful for the diversity that has been absolutely wonderful and very natural. Thus I want to thank the whole cast (and crew) for giving me the characters I fell in love with, the characters, who are so, so human. THANK YOU <3
