I guess Touchstone is having a hard time adjusting to the shepherd life. In my head, he‘s still the funniest, happiest shepherd in the forest, though. lol
readinginthedark Eh, I‘m not a big fan of the Touchstone of Act 3. Between the general insults and him using Audrey... 🤷🏻♀️ 7y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark oh I totally agree. I like the Touchstone in my head. I‘m really not a fan of the Touchstone in the play at this part. He‘s become less of a jester and more of a schemer. I‘m hoping he goes back in the next act. (I haven‘t started it yet. I will as soon as I get all of these papers graded.) 7y
readinginthedark Yeah, I think I cast him originally as a humorous sidekick friend to the girls who was motivated by some of the same reasons as themselves for leaving. But now I think he just left because it was something to do. He seems more well-suited to court with his jests, laziness, and irrepressible desire for female “companionship.” (edited) 7y
