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 

The best part is that pretty much all of the fights are “they fight” with no mention of whether it’s with swords or throwing knives or kung-fu or if they just do the slappy-hands thing at each other.

Fun fact, related to “they fight”: in the script for Fellowship of the Ring, when the hobbits run down the stairs inside the Mines of Moria, and there’s an epic fight with all those orcs, and it takes like five minutes in the final cut? In the script, it just says, “they run down the stairs.”

Interpretation, y’all.
