Abstract
Our joint presentation combines performance and parody to create a playful and accessible approach to understanding Shakespearean texts and the power of adaptation. We intend to populate the TV show “The Bachelorette” with Shakespeare’s characters, thus using popular culture to reveal the problematic aspects of Shakespeare’s plays. We want to appeal to up and coming generations and include those who may not have the background or elite education to understand Shakespeare on their own. One possibility we hope to explore is Ophelia choosing among several Shakespearean tragic heroes vying for her hand. Additionally, we will deconstruct Shakespearean gender norms and notions of sexuality, and probe the queer experience, or the lack thereof, in Shakespearean adaptations. Many Shakespearean popular media adaptations skirt around the queer undertones of the texts from which they derive their material. Our exploration is facilitated by the critical and parodic nature of our presentation, drawing on influences from Shakespeare’s own works and popular adaptations like Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo + Juliet and Iqbal Khan’s 2015 theatrical production of Othello to challenge and subvert Shakespearean conventions. While many Shakespearean adaptations exalt and revere Shakespeare, our experiment hopes to discover what a queer and irreverent eye might make of Shakespeare.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
