Articulated Ken Doll Plays Mercutio in #StopMotion #Shakespeare Play @ ChellyWood.com #Theater

I chose this picture of Mercutio, because you can kind of see how silly and fun his character is in my stop-motion film of Romeo and Juliet. In the original Shakespeare play, Mercutio is a relative of the prince, but his personality is goofy, silly, and just plain fun! I’m having a blast putting him in comical scenes with Benvolio as his sidekick. I had to … Continue reading Articulated Ken Doll Plays Mercutio in #StopMotion #Shakespeare Play @ ChellyWood.com #Theater

  If you ask me which doll was my all-time favorite as a child, it was my cousin’s Soul doll, from the Hasbro World of Love collection. Whenever my cousin Virginia and I got together, I would beg her to let me play with Soul. Why? That doll was just plain gorgeous! Her long eyelashes framed big eyes. Her chocolate skin was so unique among Barbie-like dolls … Continue reading #Hasbro’s #Soul #Doll Plays Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet @ chellywood.com

Before people get all in-my-face about an African-American doll playing a servant in my upcoming stop-motion film of Romeo and Juliet with dolls, let me remind you that Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio, is also played by an AA doll, as is Friar Laurence. I felt it was important to include characters of African heritage in the cast of this play because, as everyone knows, people of African heritage … Continue reading #BlackBarbie Plays #Juliet’s nurse in doll version of #RomeAndJuliet @ ChellyWood.com

Lady Capulet is Juliet’s mother in William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.

This photo shows the Father Capulet character from Chelly Wood's stop motion video of Romeo and Juliet with dolls.

No, I didn’t get the actor, Jackson Rathbone, to voice Father Capulet in my upcoming Romeo and Juliet video. Rather, I chose his facsimile to remake OOAK-style into a Father Capulet doll for our Theater of Yore production. Want to see him in full costume, after the remake?
