In response to Nina Killham’s brilliant twitter version of Romeo and Juliet and Fiona Dunbar’s hilarious twitter Macbeth, I give you Othello. It’s in Tweets, you have to read up from the bottom – I took the whole tweet thing a bit too seriously…
Othello: #goodbyecruelworld
Othello: I kissed her, then I killed her, #ihavenowife #wheresmydagger
Desdemona: @girlfriends need help, he’s here, he’s got a pillow, I think he’s going to k…
DM Desdemona @girlfriends help me!
DM: Othello, wait there, I’m coming to our room.
DM: Desdemona: That’s not true @othello, I only love you
DM Othello: @desdemona Going to miss @cassio are you? I knew you fancied him!
DM Desdemona:@othello what have you done?
DM Othello: @desdemona I did ask @cassio and now his mouth is stopp’d.
DM Desdemona: @othello I didn’t, promise, ask @cassio
DM Othello @desdemona you gave my hankie to cassio #ambetrayed

Wonderful! Love the emoticon! You guys are taking it to new heights. xx
Can’t can’t can’t look at this now…laters! Btw ironically I can’t tweet about my own thingy as it’s only on FB – but Candy’s going to put it up on Notes From the Slushpile. THEN I shall tweet it – and this!
Oh my dear, my sides are aching. I’m sure Shakspeare didn’t mean for us to be laughing like this.
That’s hilarious! thanks!
Wonderful 🙂 xx
Brilliant!!!
Oh my word that was SO, SO funny!!#tearsrolling
I laughed so hard at this I nearly spat my drink!
“Iago: @Othello nice one, bet @desdemona’s dad didn’t see that one coming #parentfail”
