shiposting

if you need convincing here are a few highlights from when my family and i went to see the official globe theatre production of a midsummer night’s dream:

they cast helena as a guy (helenus), first of all. they took a straight love square between two girls and two guys and made it a love square between a girl and three guys, only one of which was white. both sets of couples get happy endings and it’s fuckin adorable

it was reimagined with an indian setting

puck had a water pistol and kept shooting at the audience

historical accuracy?? who cares everyone’s gonna dress like a modern hipster teenager

bottom and his acting troupe sung bon jovi

oh yeah also the acting troupe were reimagined as globe theatre employees with delusions of acting skills

hermia and helenus sung single ladies by beyonce

innuendos. innuendoes everywhere

oberon walked onstage for the fight between oberon and titania drunk with a half-empty bottle of schweppes

lysander spent a significant length of time in the play wandering around in just boxers and a leather jacket

oberon made out with puck

kermit really is that bitch…… he went from crying in showers and talking to negative inner monologues to running freely in a dandelion field,,…i’m tryna be on this level
