wild that so much ancient greek literature has been discovered since i died. we used to only have seneca and ovid and stuff

new york city is incredibly clean and orderly compared to 1600s london. however i have a personal vendetta against the F train

saw hamnet. interesting concept but i would like everyone to know that i did not write "to be or not to be" while staring mournfully into a river. and also i'm hotter than paul mescal

"why doesn't christopher marlowe have a bluesky?" well he is currently in the hospital after getting into yet another bar fight. so it's best for all of us he's not on here

tbh i want to rewrite henry viii. now that i'm not under the lord chamberlain's patronage and don't have to worry about offending royalty i could make it a real banger

i enjoy a lot of contemporary playwrights' work but don't get why no one uses iambic pentameter anymore. try it sometime it'll really spice up your writing

"why are there so many guys named antonio in your plays" idk what to tell you except that i was hooking up with multiple antonios back in the day

always sucks to live through terrifying leadership changes in empires. shit got kind of crazy when queen elizabeth died in 1603

as a playwright i try not to be TOO petty, but it's really satisfying that everyone remembers me and no one remembers robert greene. never liked that guy

Nice summer’s day you got there. It’d be a real shame if someone were to … compare thee to it

seriously, who do i contact about getting my royalties for the current circle in the square production of romeo and juliet? feel like i'm being cheated out of a lot of money here

"ohhh nooo the theatre is dying" look, back in my day people said the same thing. everybody complained about how teens only wanted to go watch dogs rip apart a live bear instead of going to a play

today's fit #selfie #400yearsyoung

scholars love to debate whether or not i was having sex with kit marlowe. well i was

trying to write a new play using only emojis. not going well

lots of people asking me who the dark lady and fair youth from my sonnets are. and to them i say...i'm not telling :-)

why does no one ever produce my play "love's labours won" anymore? you guys used to love love's labours won

wish i had written stereophonic. however i was dead for over 400 years so only learned about fleetwood mac 2 weeks ago

hate when people bring up henry 6 part 1. that was my first play! i was so young! i didn't know what i was doing!!! i thought it would be "funny" and "cool" to have joan of arc summon literal otherworldly fiends that only show up in one scene!

glad that the dramatists guild exists. back in the day if a theatre wasn't paying me the money i was owed i'd have to sic christopher marlowe on them until they relented

shocked and appalled to learn i haven't been paid ANY royalties for the usage of my work over the past 408 years!

"how are you posting if you died on april 23, 1616" dude don't even worry about it. there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy

i did not fucking say that!!!

every day people are asking me "what's your personal favorite play that you've written, mr. shakespeare? we're dying to know." well the answer is timon of athens

what up i'm still alive. neither a borrower nor a lender be or whatever

it's me. William Shakespeare, writer of Titus Andronicus. and others
