Gossip Wench here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of the Thespian elite. An anonymous source has told me that Will Shakespeare might not be as genius as we all thought he was\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Thought his pastoral, mythological, wit-filled plays were all his own ideas? Our source says think again. All we\u2019re saying is maybe buy a ticket for Lyly\u2019s Galatea before you fight for a place in Will\u2019s entourage. #ad\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t hear it from us, but this actor trying to be a playwright seems pretty sad…maybe you just weren\u2019t cut out for the stage? Don\u2019t get me wrong, he\u2019s getting pretty popular. But<\/span><\/p>\n

if you\u2019re going to copy the framework of someone\u2019s play, at least keep the chastity agenda: it\u2019s not classy having fulfilled desires as the solution of your plot. Elizabeth wouldn\u2019t approve of this trashiness taking over the stage, and neither do we… take a cold shower, Slagspeare.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all wrote our book reports on Pyramus and Thisbe in middle school, and we\u2019re kind of over it now. Using an ass instead of a stag sums up the difference between Ovid and our pal Will: stop trying to make Metamorphoses for the common people happen…it\u2019s not going to happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you gossipers but we\u2019re off to the Globe tonight to see what all the fuss is about. It\u2019s not all doom and gloom though, Drama Boy, as your fans say you\u2019ve got a way with words; let\u2019s see if it\u2019s enough!<\/span><\/p>\n

Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream? Or Midsummer Night\u2019s Scheme\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

xoxo, Gossip Wench.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
