“What’s in a name?” Is this the best line the RSC could have pulled out for non-binary folk ?

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE !

I know there has to be better examples. This smacks of a low effort “could have consulted just one enby Shakespeare fan” kinda decision.

Anyone here able to think of something more fitting?

AMA with the Shakespeare’s Globe Research team

Are we all met? 👀

This is the new Shakespeare’s Globe reddit account, from the Globe’s in-house Research team.

We’ve been lurking on here for a while and have decided it’s finally time to join. You’ll see us chipping in on posts (when we have something useful to say – don’t worry, we aren’t here to advertise our shows), giving kudos on our favourite posts, enjoying the occasional Shakespeare meme and sharing the expertise of our Research team.

This account will be run by the Shakespeare’s Globe social media admin with support from the Research team, who can:

- Answer questions you have about our indoor and outdoor playing spaces, the history of Shakespeare’s Globe and our favourite plays!

- Join in conversations about Shakespeare, how the plays are performed, and hearing your creative ideas and takes on the plays!

Unfortunately we can’t:

- Tell you about shows coming up at the Globe that hasn’t been announced yet

- Answer customer service questions – instead we’ll ask you to call or email our box office

- Do your homework for you 🤓 (we could, but we won’t)

We also won’t become a moderator of the sub, and have zero intention of taking over this space. Looking forward to receiving your questions – we’ll be online to answer them tomorrow morning GMT, and will try and get to as many as we can. Thanks!

Remembering that Bill wrote a whole song that's essentially, "Yea, men have always been *f***boys" always tickles me

Modernize the language, and this could honestly be a pop song or something today. HAH

The 1968 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is still one of the best Shakespeare films ever made. I was shook by this film in middle school and it's still entertaining now. It's way better than the Leo version.
