shakespeare’s character descriptions/stage directions/contexts are so vague it makes me so happy. wanna make Laertes hamlet’s ex boyfriend? doesn’t say HE’S NOT. wanna make juliet a trans girl? WHERE IN THE SCIRPT DOES IT SAY SHE ISN’T??? fucking put King Lear in SPACE set that shit on the enterprise THERE ARE NO RULES IN SHAKESPEARE 

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but since Shakespeare’s work is hella old, it’s out of copyright. Meaning all the stories are now public domain. Meaning there are literally NO RULES. If you want to cross over two or more of his works and set them in a small college town but also include a character who’s an alien? Totally legal- to publish, even.
