Of course I put my favorite things together; it's what I DO.

Yes, I thought about this ALL DAY. Judge me all you want.

ETA: Just now noticed I misspelled Plantagenet and y'can't edit polls. *facepalm*

To this day I have NEVER seen a Dogberry I thought was funny. I would love to see a funny Dogberry some day, dammit!

I don't actually know who Jeremy Renner is, but I vote YES for ALL THE SHAKESPEARE!

ALL THE SHAKESPEARE ALWAYS!!

Heh, just keep hanging around here; I'll post some more pictures tomorrow. ^_^

He'd make an excellent Mercutio, too...

I thought about Mercutio! I decided that the Queen Mab soliloquy might not fit him as well as Tybalt's snarling, so that's why I went with Tybalt. ^_^

I would love to see him as Richard Plantagenet. *shiver* I just...well, lovely now *i'm* going to be thinking of this all night!

I'm going to have to go read all the choice bits of the Henry VI plays now...I say read rather than re-read because I don't think I ever read those three plays in their entirety. I saw them, which is how Shakespeare is meant to be experienced, and didn't feel the need to do otherwise with those three!

Too bad Shakespeare isn't part of my culture and so I'm not familiar enough with his plays to answer this. It looks like so much fun. :D *clicks on a couple of boxes anyway*

The thought came to me while I was swimming, and I thought about it for a while and then later I went and got out my Folio and leafed through all the casts of all the plays, checking soliloquies and such to see if they felt like the sort of thing he could slip into. Obsession is so much fun. XD

Oh, definitely Tybalt - lovely, angry, doomed Tybalt. By far my favorite character in Romeo and Juliet .

I'm personally fond of doomed Mercutio, hee! (But for Renner I was imagining the "big brother" vibe he'd have all over Juliet and it just fit.)
