So last night planga, jayspec and I came up with:

The Gilligan's Island 12th Night:
Viola: Mary Ann
Olivia: Ginger
Orsino: The Professor
Sir Toby: The Skipper
Feste: Gilligan
Sir Andrew: Mr. Howell
Maria: Mrs. Howell
Antonio: that Russian Cosmonaut

All other roles: The Harlem Globetrotters

And then went on to
The Muppets 12th Night:
Viola: Human Guest Star
Olivia: Miss Piggy
Orsino: Kermit the Frog
Malvolio: Sam the American Eagle
Sir Toby: The Swedish Chef
Sir Andrew: Link Hogthrob
Maria: Janis
Fabian: Scooter (I think we had someone else, but I can't remember)
Feste: Fozzie Bear
Antonio: Pépe the King Prawn
Sebastian: Anything Muppet made to look like Human Guest Star
Music by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

Muppets and Shakespeare are an excellent match- there's very few women in either, mainly due to roles being played by men.

We also thought of Pépe starring in Shakespeare's King Prawn: "Nothing comes from nothing, okay?"

12th night, muppet game, television, muppets, funny
