The sheep in William Shakespeare’s As You Like It at the Pop Up Globe

In Henry IV the low life of Eastcheap went its own way till the final disaster. In Henry V the Eastcheap characters are more directly touched by history, enlisted in the great national enterprise. But they keep their own interests and voices. They died off one by one, as though history is determined this time to crush them slowly and thoroughly…[…] The play’s episodic quality leaves us to make connections for ourselves, and leaves us wondering which connections to make. In theatrical tradition the Boy is killed onstage; but in the text he tells us at the end of IV.iv that he is going to guard the luggage, and Gower announces in IV. vii, ‘'Tis certain there’s not a boy left alive’ (IV. vii. 5). We have to make the connection ourselves.

Prompt 1

In honor of yesterday, this week’s prompt is: a birth and/or a death.  Whatever that means to you, for whichever play you want.

Submit your drabbles or tag them with “tellahundred,” and I’ll post/reblog every one that’s exactly one hundred words!

Somewhere between Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet is a person who knows how to plan just enough.

[malvoliowithin]

Unfortunately, that person was Iago.

Going back through my dissertation looking for a specific source and just ran across the sentence, “In Lear, everyone loses,” and basically that’s my dissertation and the entire play summed up in four words

NOT OVER HIM YET

Just school has left me little time to indulge myself.

I have this idea for a podcast adaptation of Macbeth… in space… with lesbians… because I’m nothing if not predictable.  (make shakespeare even queerer!!)

but one rlly vivid concept that I had for is one of the first scenes would be Macbeth and Banquo’s battleship crashing on a strange, reportedly uninhabitable world after the big battle prior to the beginning of the story.  

their communications array was damaged in the crash, but it starts picking up strange, barely-comprehensible whispers.  there’s nothing they can see on the planet aside from shifting mists that seem to press down on their craft. 

after they get the ship away, banquo laughs it off as a strange coincidence, their ship picking up fragments of broadcasts bouncing around that solar system, but macbeth isn’t so sure.

the witches are never anything more than faint voices on the communications array but they spark something in her she can never shake

I'd like to suggest Lucentio from Taming of the Shrew for your costume thingy. Feel free to do whatever you like, but I totally see him as a pretentious frat boy type that spends his weekends in the Hamptons XD

You are so lucky you are my roommate because my hands had to make this I had to google FRAT BOYS FOR THIS MY EYES HAD TO WITNESS THIS-

…All in all though frat boy Lucentio I’d say not half bad although apparently non-gingham button up shirts are a myth as are the obnoxious frat shorts. I wanted them in like sky blue or something but the greyer blue wasn’t awful either. 

Send me requests for a play and a character and I’ll do a costume set design!

i need,,, star wars versions of all my favorite shakespeare plays

[benvulio]

ok but like…. think about the things that would be 100000% cooler if it was star wars’d for example:

mercutio & tybalt light saber battle to the death

king hamlet as a force ghost

iago turning othello to the dark side

someone help me realize my dreams!!

[lair-master]

i wanna play a fat, boastful, and cowardly knight, like shakespeare’s sir falstaff. in d&d 5e they’d probably be a valor bard, but i’d love to homebrew something to suit this concept specifically. the vainglorious buffoon is a stock character i’ve always been drawn to. i like the thought of someone becoming a hero despite these shortcomings. someone who’s coasted on an inflated reputation and must suddenly rise to the occassion, to struggle against one’s own foibles but ultimately prevail. yet i’ve never really seen this archetype realized in d&d.
