Theaters are the remnant of an ancient troglidite pasttime, collective staring into the fire, for hours. This arcane practice reached it's zeanith during the RCA era. An entire generation collectively stared into the red light of their radios, and were convinced that Martians were at the door. But the collective drivie-in theater exhaust fumes of the next generation, spawned the individual/remote control red light era. Fear not, the collective hunch is people still like to flock. And were there is a flock there is a...

Sure.  For some good ideas, I'd check out the original Oklahoma movie as well as the newer Oklahoma filming of the play (it has Hugh Jackson in it).  You'll need to decide if you want to make your version of Oklahoma more modern or set it in the past.  I've seen both versions and I like the one set in the past more, but maybe that's because I'm a historian.  :-)

Hyperbole is a great exaggeration used for effect.  This link will help you with it for A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I was a vampiress bunny. I had fake long purple eyelashes and vampire teeth. Bunny ears and painted my face like a bunny with fake blood coming out of my mouth.\n\nI like your costume idea. It was a good way to put a new twist on something old.

Something that amuses, pleases, or diverts, especially a performance or show.

It was probably Christopher Marlowe..just kidding. I have no idea. It is fun to speculate. I'm sure he probably borrowed from other playwrights as was customary in the Elizabethan era. I leave these matters for the Oxford scholars.

It's called an anachronism. Like an actor wearing a wristwatch in a play that takes place in the 16th century.

Works of Shakespeare\n\nPlays\n\nA number of Shakespeare's plays have the reputation of being among the greatest in the English language and in Western literature. His plays cover tragedy, history, and comedy and have been translated into every major living language, in addition to being continually performed round the world.\n\nAs was normal in the period, Shakespeare based many of his plays on the work of other playwrights and recycled older stories and historical material. For example, Hamlet (c. 1601) is probably a reworking of an older, lost play (the so-called Ur-Hamlet), and King Lear is an adaptation of an older play, King Leir. For plays on historical subjects, Shakespeare relied heavily on two principal texts. Most of the Roman and Greek plays are based on Plutarch's Parallel Lives (from the 1579 English translation by Sir Thomas North[2]), and the English history plays are indebted to Raphael Holinshed's 1587 Chronicles.\n\nShakespeare's plays tend to be placed into three main stylistic groups: his early comedies and histories (such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Henry IV, Part 1), his middle period (which includes his most famous tragedies, Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear), and his later romances (such as The Winter's Tale and The Tempest). The earlier plays tend to be more light-hearted, while the middle-period plays tend to be darker, addressing such issues as betrayal, murder, lust, power, and egotism. By contrast, his late romances feature a redemptive plotline with a happy ending and the use of magic and other fantastical elements. However, the borders between these groups are never clear.\n\nSome of Shakespeare's plays first appeared in print as a series of quartos, but most remained unpublished until 1623 when the posthumous First Folio was published by two actors who had been in Shakespeare's company; John Hemings and William Condell. The traditional division of his plays into tragedies, comedies, and histories follows the logic of the First Folio. However, modern criticism has labelled some of these plays "problem plays" as they elude easy categorisation, or perhaps purposefully break generic conventions, and has introduced the term "romances" for the later comedies.\n\nThere are many controversies about the exact chronology of Shakespeare's plays. In addition, the fact that Shakespeare did not produce an authoritative print version of his plays during his life accounts for part of the textual problem often noted with his plays, which means that for several of the plays there are different textual versions. As a result, the problem of identifying what Shakespeare actually wrote became a major concern for most modern editions. Textual corruptions also stem from printers' errors, compositors' misreadings or wrongly scanned lines from the source material. Additionally, in an age before standardised spelling, Shakespeare often wrote a word several times in a different spelling, contributing further to the transcribers' confusions. Modern scholars also believe Shakespeare revised his plays throughout the years, sometimes leading to two existing versions of one play.\n\nSonnets\n\nShakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 poems that deal with such themes as love, beauty, politics, and mortality. All but two first appeared in the 1609 publication entitled Shakespeare's Sonnets; numbers 138 ("When my love swears that she is made of truth") and 144 ("Two loves have I, of comfort and despair") had previously been published in a 1599 miscellany entitled The Passionate Pilgrim.\n\nThe conditions under which the sonnets were published is unclear. The 1609 text is dedicated to one "Mr. W. H.", who is described as "the only begetter" of the poems by the publisher Thomas Thorpe. It is not known who this man was although there are many theories. In addition, it is not known whether the publicatio
