living in a Slavic fairytale

[astrangergivingthestrangewelcome]

Concept: the Hamlet and Horatio scene of Act 3 scene 2 EXCEPT it takes place during a friendly homoerotic sparring session (another reason it would be great would be the duel foreshadowing) Horatio thinks Hamlet is trying to distract him and during the whole course of Hamlet’s praise monologue Horatio tries to fight back, but Hamlet’s sweet words slowly do get him to pause enough that Hamlet is able to place his blunted sparring sword right under Horatio’s chin as he delivers “something too much of this” with a devilish grin.

This needs to be watched by more people!!!

It is the 9th Much Ado adaptation I have seen (I’m not obsessed… YOU’RE OBSESSED) and it is honestly one of the best!

For a high school production, it has great costumes and great stage designs, but trust me all of that is unimportant, considering these fucking great actors!!

Especially the actresses of Beatrice, Hero and Leonato (yes, Heros mother in this case) who acted their heart out, but also, hand down, the funniest watch I have ever seen in any adaptation.

All of that, but it has ONLY 768 VIEWS! (Look for yourself… and then watch the whole thing! https://youtu.be/YH_wms4InQs)

If you are not convinced yet, look at these photos and tell me you don’t want to watch it!

I know that they look out of context (and have horrible photo quality but let’s ignore that…) but trust me, they are very much in context!!

And the sad bits can’t be captured by photos, but they are extraordinary!!

So… go watch it… now… please… thank you!
