William Shakespeare’s Star Wars Flash Mob at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
May the Fourth be with you, Star Wars fans!
This morning, Quirk Books, Urban Playground, and Drexel University’s Dragon Jedi assembled outside the Art Museum here in Philadelphia for a special reenactment of William Shakespeare’s Star Wars.
Members of Urban Playground and the Dragon Jedi performed three scenes from the book, and were accompanied by an inflatable R2D2, a number of weaponized baguettes, and plenty of curious onlookers.
A HUGE thank you to Urban Playground, the Dragon Jedi, and Locust Moon Comics (for hosting our mini after party on the super busy Free Comic Book Day). Expect more pictures next week! Til then, enjoy the video!
