I want someone to do a production of a midsummers night’s dream but instead of it taking place in a forest it takes place in ikea

#*squints* you make a compelling argument actually #shakespeare #I want this #I want one where the audience moves with the actors #all around ikea #& the play is stretched out #super long #around & around ikea #until you have lost sense of #direction & time & even language #then back out to the exit #for the very end #puck makes the speech #‘think but this and all is mended’#& then finally you are free #free to step out into the light again #into the mortal realms #or you go for meatballs idk (x)

This is what Shakespeare was meant for.

Any Shakespeare play, but put the camera tripod on top of a roomba and nudge it gently at roomba-speed along the arrow lines and the cast has to keep moving so as to keep pace with the camera. If you’re in the middle of a scene and get interrupted by a wall into the next new apartment you gotta figure out how to roll with it.

Also you gotta USE the furniture. You’re fiercely posturing at an enemy, and you’re in one of the little apartments? You’re having that argument in the bed. Murder the king in the shower. Balcony scene, Juliet’s on a coffee table. Don’t even for a second act like any of this is the slightest bit abnormal.
