In college, I took a Shakespeare course and we did a project where we reimagined one of the plays.

Mine was to read the entire play as is, but cast actual 13 and 16 year olds who are overly melodramatic. Like their parents aren't even that opposed to the pairing, but they are young and whiny about it. The script was barely modified, and it made the parents' concerns seem entirely reasonable, especially after some of the kids kill each other. All of the characters are young teens, armed, and stupid.

We read one of the scenes, and it was too cringy to keep going. But it was just the text as written, with the inflection of a middle schooler when the cafeteria runs out of mozzarella sticks.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
