Things to do when you have too much time on your hands...

Who wants to cast Romeo & Juliet with all Buffyverse players? Great, great. Been done I'm sure.

I actually started writing the damn thing. I stopped halfway through Act 1 Scene 1 because the level of geekery inherent in mounting the project in full is beyond even me. But still, here's the cast I whipped up.

The Gang of Scooby:
Buffy (Juliet)
Andrew (Gregory)
Xander (Tybalt)
Hank Summers (Lord Capulet)
Willow (Nurse)

The Order of Aurelius:
Spike (Romeo)
Clem (Benvolio)
Glasses-Wearing Vampire (Balthasar)
The Master (Lord Montague)
Angelus (Mercutio)

Other Players:
Drusilla (Rosaline)
The Mayor (The Prince)
Riley (Paris)
Giles (Friar Lawrence)
Wesley (Friar John)

Color me dorky. :D

It's soooo lovely in its pure geekery. Glad I conned convinced veggiebelle to do it...

You know, A Midsummer Night's Dream would work, too. Let's see: Buffy as Hermia
Dru as Helena (yes, the hair colors are reversed, but otherwise it works)
Angel as Lysander
Spike as Demtetrius
Willow as Oberon
Tara as Titania
Xander as Puck

I'd say Holden for Puck, myself. Xander's not that mischevious.

Giles as Theseus?

Xander would be a much better Bottom, methinks.

I was debating between Bottom and Puck for Xander, and went with Puck because of the Willow/Oberon thing. But yeah, he'd be a better Bottom. I'm thinking Ethan for Puck, now.

Giles would be a good Theseus. Or possibly Quince.

Ooh. Quince. I like it. Think of the possibilities. He could wear the little Restless hat and talk about "hiding".
