Today, she collapsed after her medicine ran out. The doctors say severe anemia caused by bleeding is killing her, and we cannot afford her treatment.

She is in constant pain, losing her strength, and she does not want to die.

some of my oddly specific shakespeare staging opinions:

modern stagings of hamlet should keep them as royalty unless the fact that they aren't is hugely relevant to that production.

benedick and beatrice should be in their early 30s at least and claudio and hero should be noticeably younger. beatrice being adamant against marriage and both her and benedick's reaction to each other makes more sense if they're older.

this one's controversial but i think paris should be in his late teens, not way older. i might make another post elaborating on this but paris' death frames him as another victim of the families' violence, with romeo mourning + identifying him as being in the same situation as himself. it's not that old man paris isn't a good interpretation; it's often the easiest way to show romeo and juliet's positions as children helpless under their parents, and makes very clear what demands are being made of juliet. but i feel that adding paris to the list of young people killed in the play as a byproduct of the adults' violence gives romeo's identification with him more weight. given that he clearly has much more control than romeo and juliet but is still identified as a victim of the violence, i think it makes the most sense if he's a bit older than r&j but still very much young.

modern stagings of julius caesar should keep all the knives as knives, but if there has to be a gun, make cassius shoot himself in the head while caesar and brutus still die by stabbing. i've posted about this but the short version is that's it's the best way to show cassius' death as cowardly in contrast to brutus and caesar, whose deaths still mirror each other.

give the fool in king lear an onstage reason for disappearing. i like the 2018 national theatre version that has edmund kill him, and the 2023 south korean production that had cordelia be the fool in disguise the whole time. there was one from 2014 where lear beat him to death in madness which i think would be very shocking, but to good effect. the subsequent lack of comedy in the play after his disappearance would feel more jarring if we actually see his death.

benvolio should appear again in the last scene of romeo and juliet, mourning the two along with everyone else.

[mysteryteacup]

Hard disagree on Paris: him being older is crucial to showing how terrible Juliet's dad is becoming due to the family feud.

For context: forcing fourteen year old girls to marry grown men was not as common as modern people believe back in Shakespeare's day. Shakespeare was specifically showing Juliet's dad going from a good dad (you don't have to marry Paris and certainly not till you're older) to a bad dad (you will marry Paris and you will do so younger than we all know - yes back then they knew that - is healthy). The point of Paris' age is to highlight that Juliet's safety becomes less valuable to her father than his rage against the enemy house.

Everyone watching the play in Shakespeare's day walked away knowing that Juliet would have died tragically young if she'd been forced to marry Paris, too, because Paris being older means Paris wasn't going to wait as long to get heirs. If Paris is not much older than Juliet, the implicit threat to her life and the reason it makes her father such a monster when his hatred consumes him is lost, because Paris' parents would also be making him wait to consumate the marriage.

@therenaissancerose THOUGHTS ON THE CAESAR ONE????

[exeggcute]

one of my favorite this american life segments of late is about the people who played orchestra pit for phantom of the opera on broadway and how, like, a sizeable majority of them had literally been playing the show since it opened in 1988 (on broadway. I know it opened in 86 on the west end, you random pedants, but I am specifically talking about broadway musicians) because their contracts stipulated that they'd have jobs throughout the show's entire run... but nobody anticipated that phantom would become the longest-running broadway show of all time.

and none of these people wanted to walk away from a guaranteed job, so very few of them ever quit. they just kept doing the same show eight nights a week... for twenty or thirty years... and by the time it finally closed last year most of these musicians (who had been working together for DECADES) hated each other and really really fucking loathed phantom. I can't stop thinking about it. it's indescribably hellish to imagine but also the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.

[exeggcute]

can you imagine.

[bisexualshakespeare]

[ID: excerpt from an article reading: One of my favorite stories, which should drive anyone who has every played in a band crazy-- there’s this bassoon player who has sat next to the same clarinet player since 1988. She’s convinced he plays half a note4 flat on every note he’s every played. He denies this. /]

The biggest indicator of tumblr's decline and increased anglification in the last half decade or so is that no one's sharing shit like the entirety of the hot pickle girl video anymore

[lakemojave]

Actually @blackfem this exchange belongs on the main post

Here's the video itself if you don't know. Sit down and watch it all then move on

i do think it’s funny when you’ve been into a thing long enough that you’ve done all the serious analysis you can do so now you’re mostly just thinking up looney tunes scenarios to put the characters in
