portia and nerissa channeling their inner elle woods and feminism stay winning

except for when portia was grossly racist against my poor dear prince of morocco

One of Shakespeare's crappier and more problematic plays. Don't read if you don't have to.

Yup yup yup! Nothing like a good old Shakespeare comedy. I was surprised by the girlbosses in this play!? Icons. The whole villain was ofc religion…ist? Ummm… racist? So thats not good, but it was unfortunately a different time, so also not unexpected. Overall though, pretty epic play
