A 'Drop Down' is a menu, an offering, a digital frame for a series of options. How Shakespeare might write in a digital world. How Shakespeare looks when you look him up on Sparknotes. But it is also a fight. A drop down is the way you take control of the dance floor. A moment of aggression, a drop to the floor, a way to move so fast men can't grab you; can't hold you; can't gaze.
DROP DOWN GLOBE was one of the inaugural Someday Stories: six short films by emerging young film-makers from Aotearoa New Zealand. I wrote and directed DROP DOWN GLOBE as a reaction to all male casting.
Taking place over one tertiary school campus on one day, Drop Down Globe takes on each Shakespeare genre in only ten minutes. It is Shakespeare like you've never seen her before. Remixed, remastered, rediscovered.
