Not sure why the stream died, but we were basically done anyway, so thanks so much for tuning in – this was an absolute blast!! ❤️ -R
I hope they do more of these; this was a delight!
Indigo doing Hermia as super southern, just killed me. 🙂 especially since I'm doing a D&D western and thus am doing a lot of southern accents and I just about died at everyone eventually becomes Dolly Parton.

It's so weird to me to hear people talking about Canadian productions without mentioning Vancouver, which has the name "hollywood north" for a reaason :p I dont know how we compare to toronto in terms of # of productions, but i do know that being in the same timezone as LA has a big draw, and tax breaks for film are a big deal in our provinicial politics. A common local hobby is playing "spot the vancouver landmark" especially in procedurals, some fantasy, or any sci fi especially shows. We had (have? im out of date) one of the largest greenscreen studios in north america, and also one of the main branches of ILM which is perhaps more relevant to the VFX discussion.
there's a lot of reasons why i am not in film personally but i am apparently still proud of the home team :p
Indigo and Red's portrayal of the Rude Mechanicals group in the play of Pyramus and Thisbe is what Willy Shakes would have wanted
Indigo’s laugh 🙂
42:40 holy sh** Dominic Noble was here!!!
My drama class performed this. The class was made up of a vast majority of girls. Both Hermia and Helena were played by two of the three enbys in the class.
I have never understood Bottom better than when he is Solid Snake
This was bonkers, and i love it🤣👏👏👏
Ok, I got a vague and scattered idea of the plot or the characters at best, but I was llaughing my but off to the accents. Those were just pure gold.
4 and a half minutes in, can already tell this is going to be fun. Also, this is exactly how my drama class does first script read throughs which is fun (because of certain reasons we are required to adapt a “classic” for our spring/exam show, so we do parodies of plays. To understand the basics of the story we do a readthrough like this)
I did Drama in sophomore year and we did this play, I was the character that played the Wall in the play within the play and the only thing I remember (aside from being really nervous about forgetting lines) is that RIGHT before we did the play within a play, I had to rush to get one of the other actors in it (they were getting themselves prettied up in a room across the hall) and we just barely made it back in time for the introduction lol
This is the first time I'm actually paying attention to the words of this play (I could bullshit my way through 7th grade English well enough and just read my book when they played the movie)
Oh yeah. It's all coming together …
I'd never read/watched Midsummer Night's Dream before, was only vaguely following the plot of the play, and yet your performances gave me belly laughs with every other line. Excellent job, you two!
My senior year one act play was Midsummer and I was the stage manager so rehearing all the lines my brain immediately kicked into checking if they were correct.
Being able to laugh on demand is a skill I can’t normal laugh on demand but I can do a great evil laugh, or what I dub my maniacal giggle. Both terrify my friends when they hear it and they thinks I’m about to possess them or their devices.
For imagining, imagine a laughing furby, sped up 3 times, on loop, until it starts catching on fire and melting.
MLP shout-out an hour in was exciting.
English is not my first language, I don't know the play, I have very few grasp of what the hell is going on, and yet this is mesmerizing
Hearing Red talk about Chaos Goblins made my week!
My nephew played Nick Bottom in a high school production, and he mailed the tile flawlessly.
Hi I’m so late but I love this stream so much!!!!! I would love to see y’all do other Shakespeare plays in real time!!!!
Oh thank god they went for Pegasus’s voice for Oberon.
As someone who spent the summer playing Helena and desperately misses it, I appreciate this So Much
Red, your Peter Quince reminds me of Pinky from Pinky and the Brain. I just want you to say a proper "Narf!" after everything you say as that character.
Stop censoring Macbeth, honestly, it’s terrible.
I like opera : (
indigo understands my homeland (i miss wawa)
Wow Helena's got her reading glasses on! The Jolene voice is so perfect for her.
I died laughing at the “I’m just talkin’ ‘bout Cupid’s shaft” “I can dig it” bit
I really want to hear them do this with Taming of the Shrew just to see Reds hatred affect the lines in character accents😂😂
1:08:03 I assume it’s like Labyrinth , where they look human, but their subjects do not.
"this will have no rewatch value"
Me, watching this stream for like the 4th time: lmao
im playing hermia in my theatre class' production (were not doing a midsummer nights dream) so im using this as reference instead of just reading the play. thanks red and indigo
