I think trying to make a movie out of The Odyssey (not the story of Odysseus, but The Odyssey as in the poem) is a bit of a doomed endeavour as the structure of The Odyssey simply does not jive with the structure of the Hollywood movie

The Odyssey should be a musical but ☝️only some of the time. When Odysseus is narrating? Musical. Penelope and Telemachus on Ithaca? 🙅‍♀️

Odysseus can break the fourth wall during the parts where he's narrating.

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

Hello everyone, different post to normal! My friend @knottreally is looking for survey participants for their masters research on the accessibility of on-demand live-recorded Shakespeare productions.

Can't afford the streaming services? Tell me. Glad you can watch from home because actual theatres are inaccessible for you? Tell me. Streamed something really accessible but it wasn't Shakespeare? Tell me. Never managed to find a show you wanted to watch that actually had audio description? Tell me. Only ever streamed shows illegally uploaded to YouTube - bestie, this survey is anonymous and you now have the power to make me explain what a slime video is in my thesis! This survey is part of my masters research, where I'm looking at how the accessibility of streamed Shakespeare productions has changed since lockdown and if there's anything we can do to make it better. I want to hear from as many people with as many different access needs as possible. Participants don't have to identify as disabled to take part, and there is space for carers to answer from their own perspective of helping others access these services. The survey isn't long, but it will take time because most of the questions are asking you to answer in your own words. There is an Easy Read English pathway for anyone who might find reading English difficult. If you have any other access requirements or would prefer to do the survey in another format, please email me and I will do everything I can to make sure you can take part. If you have any questions or would like to arrange other access requirements, email me at [email protected]

Tiny intro to me and my research: I'm a part-time postgraduate researcher in theatre studies at the University of York. My research area is Shakespeare, digital theatre, and accessibility.

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.
