Shakespeare wasn’t written for the phone.
But the phone might be the most intimate stage we have left.
These are the rules I’m discovering while building Vertical Shakespeare.
This weeks #selftapesonnet is a continuation from the #sorrowspeaks iniative for @mtcbahrain and @bahraintheatreproducer please remember to tag us as collaborators, so we can have in our grid too. Also have the hashtag #selftapesonnets on the reel so others know the name.
To V or Not to V? That is the question I am looking at in this series. Why have I decided to try something new in the vertical drama space? Why Shakespeare and why now?

SORROW SPEAKS (amended video for producer’s safety)
Actors around the world speaking one line of Shakespeare.
No sets.
No costumes.
Just a voice and a light.
If you want to take part:
Rules / Steers
• Film vertical
• Use one light source (candle, lamp, window, streetlight)
• Speak one line of Shakespeare
• Look directly into the camera
• Leave a moment of silence before and after
Tag @verticalshakespeare and use #givesorrowwords
Let’s see where this goes.
