Been gone way to long from doing this. Well this may not be posted on an actual Wednesday but it got done! So anyway, I think a little Shakespeare party is in order. Instead of focusing on a single particular play, I am focused on the experience it’s self of attending the Globe Theater.
Décor
Your TV is the focal point in this party since you should watch a Shakespearian movie while you are hosting the party. The Globe Theater is difficult to replicate but if you set up your TV area like a stage most people should get the idea.
For building the stage I would refer you back to my Bioshock Infinite party on how to build a booth but build the dimensions according to your TV.
Bench seating and or wooden chairs will fit the style as well.
For your food and drink tables I found a beautiful idea for it using old book pages as a runner.
Add quills and ink pots for the center pieces and encourage your guest to write down some inspirational quote of favorite Shakespearian quote on the pages.
As for lighting keep it bright up until the “plays showing” then dim them down for that true theater experience.

Drink
I found a wonderful word press site that is dedicated to Shakespeare dinks. Unfortunately they do not have pictures of there drinks but I will like it here for you anyways: http://bard365.wordpress.com/tag/drinks/
This should kick off a night of wonderful reenactments of your favorite Shakespeare plays by some good or bad performers. I will probably get back to a regular schedule of party Wednesday in a couple of weeks but this should wet your appetite for some more.
See you on the other side
