GAME CHANGERS created by @wearemegaverse and funded by @weareukri is an immersive narrative game streamed in real-time, where players decide the outcome of the story 🎮
“Thou hast freed a curst shrew.”
Then @0megancerysholland1 would full-body-hug me tight, whisper ‘I love you’ and kiss my forehead before leaving me alone on stage to exhale Katherina as the lights went down ❤️🔥
Closing the play for the last show, we were all choked up with an emotional surge that flooded the space during our (full-house standing ovation!) bows. The creation of our shrews was a phenomenal experience, and the sisterhood will live with me for all time 💘
Here’s hoping @her_productions19 ’s Bellas make a comeback someday because if you missed this, you missed out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’d share every single snapshot if I could because each one brims with unbridled joy from the brilliant creatives and electric atmosphere we produced together. If this wildcat had more patience, she’d make a reel…
Yours, Page/The Fixer 🪛 AKA Katherina/Lusty Wench 🐾
