A 2008 lol classic n da makn

Take six characters from classic plays, give them each a mobile and a laptop and let them loose on today’s modern world.

2 b or nt 2 b takes characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Midsummer Night’s Dream, Chekhov’s Three Sisters and The Seagull, Sophocles’ Antigone and Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. But has anything really changed for today’s modern teens? Hamlet and Antigone have dysfunctional families, Helena and Masha moon over unattainable boys and Irina and Hedda feel trapped in their boring lives.
