a month ago i picked up a book on stage directing in my school’s black box and opened to a random page and it was something about making shakespearean actors rehearse by adding the word fuck to their lines to turn the archaic language into something familiar for the emotional resonance (of course taking it out as rehearsals move along to fix rhythm/etc but just to start off) and the example it gave was the solid flesh speech. like. iirc it was specifically “but two fucking months dead”

and like. im obsessed with this. as a concept. not even for acting i just think it’s so fucking funny. to be or not to be, that’s the fucking question. is this a fucking dagger i see before me. this is the excellent fuckery of the world -

Ok ok but when should Ophelia say fuck. "I pray you, fucking mark"? "Yes, my lord, you fucking made me believe so"? The possibilities are endless

GOOD FUCKING NIGHT, SWEET LADIES

I come to tell him his commandment is fulfilled, that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are fucking dead

i’ve already made this joke but i still stand by “doubt thou the stars are fire / doubt that the sun doth move / doubt truth to be a liar / but never doubt i fuck” because i peaked back then. it would be funny if polonius shouts fuck and just falls over when hamlet stabs him tho

WE CAN HAVE BOTH!

for midsummer night's dream, all lines where a word is rhymed with "puck" are changed to the word fuck. no questions asked.

Personally I feel Emilia is most entitled to the token fuck in Othello and I'm proposing "Look you, Cassio! ...And my fucking husband."

i haven’t read othello but this has me ROLLING
