Definitely not getting a crush on someone in the play nope nope
Ok so I still have a bit of a crush on him so what.
Look I'll get over it at some point and soon I won't be seeing him/talking to him for like 3 weeks so that'll help
Met up with my friend the other night who said she could not believe I fancied him because he is, in her words, "the gayest man in the world"
Well what can I say 🤷♀️

king lear permanently changed my vocabulary in the moment where edgar is trying to figure out what he could possibly be in trouble with gloucester for and he surmises that someone else must be scheming to ruin their relationship (which in his defense is correct) and so he announces "some villain hath done me wrong", while edmund, the guy who caused the situation on purpose, is standing right next to him
i think about it all the time
Yesterday my director said "I love when the scene has gone on and I'm watching all the other actors and then I look at you and realise you've just been smiling at the chaos you've created the whole time" which was a truly wonderful note to receive and here it is in action
My friend is in a production of We Will Rock You and they posted a reel of the him kissing his costar in rehearsal with his wife looking on and it's now got 5m views the Internet is crazyyy
Our production of Much Ado About Nothing has changed some things and I'm very curious as to know what the good people of Shakespeare tumblr think about it
We got nominations for the local theatre awards yesterday and our Hermia, Bottom and Puck all got nominations. Which are all completely deserved and what I expected from the adjudication we received- but I do think all of the lovers deserved a nod (and we could have, there's not like a limit to the nominations you can get). It wasn't going to happen though, me and the lads all got critique and Hermia got the most positive feedback I have ever seen.
And the adjudicator got my name wrong in 3 different ways which I'm still a bit pissed off about.
you seem like you have more experience than i do in shakespeare. acting tips? general advice? i adore shakespeare and i've read a lot but i haven't acted in any of his plays since i was twelve (cobweb the fairy in midsummer babyyy) and now i'm playing..... *checks notes* both helena and puck. so uhhh please help if you're willing 🙏
Playing both Helena and Puck is crazy!! What are you doing at the end of a3s2??
But yes my best Shakespeare advice is that everything is in the text - look at all the punctuation within the lines, at the end of the lines, when the lines are end-stopped and when they're not. Note down when the lines run on and consider how you're playing it, is there a pause or a break of any sort? You'd be surprised how often the answer is yes.
The difference between prose and verse isn't, as people often claim, between the class of the characters, but in the vast majority of cases it's an indication of the emotion/how heightened the scene is. As a rule, look for when verse is used, then look at when rhyming couples are used, then when "O!" is used - the emotion is generally heightened each time. For Puck, this might also be the case but it also might indicate the heightened magical/absurd state of the events of the play.
In general, you're going to want to think about objectives, ie what your character wants from other people in the scene. These should be as specific as possible, so instead of Helena's objective being "i want you (Demetrius) to love me" it should be "i want you to tell me you love me".
Given circumstances are also great to think about, so do a list, ideally using quotations, outlining the following:
What does my character say about themselves?
What do other people say about my character?
What does my character say about other people?
They should help as a starter - it'll take some time but I think it's well worth it. I think learning lines exactly really helps too, Shakespeare chose those words for a reason so use them.
I really hope that's useful, give me a shout if you need anything clarifying or whatever! You might not want this but I have a recording of my version that I'll happily send if you think it'll be useful.

Regan my fucking GIRL. Regan King Lear my best friend. No one gets her like I do. Only woman in Shakespeare to straight up stab someone in the stage directions. Girlboss (stabbed a man) and girlfailure (got poisoned) in one. So powerful she inspires another woman to kill (her). Probably loves her husband, even. The aura. The prestige. My GIRL.

I love how the boys look in this one. We've got lovesick Demetrius and disgusted Lysander
