silvius talking about phoebe with corin and ganymede
okay but if you’re ever in london and you have the chance to see a shakespeare play performed at the globe theatre itself DO IT even if you don’t think you’d dig shakespeare
if you need convincing here are a few highlights from when my family and i went to see the official globe theatre production of a midsummer night’s dream:
- they cast helena as a guy (helenus), first of all. they took a straight love square between two girls and two guys and made it a love square between a girl and three guys, only one of which was white. both sets of couples get happy endings and it’s fuckin adorable
- it was reimagined with an indian setting
- puck had a water pistol and kept shooting at the audience
- historical accuracy?? who cares everyone’s gonna dress like a modern hipster teenager
- bottom and his acting troupe sung bon jovi
- oh yeah also the acting troupe were reimagined as globe theatre employees with delusions of acting skills
- hermia and helenus sung single ladies by beyonce
- innuendos. innuendoes everywhere
- oberon walked onstage for the fight between oberon and titania drunk with a half-empty bottle of schweppes
- lysander spent a significant length of time in the play wandering around in just boxers and a leather jacket
- oberon made out with puck
- demetrius dabbed
its what shakespeare would have wanted
oh good to know the tumblr staff team has gone completely insane
