Annotation:
	"Explore[s] how Shakespearean TikTokers use the platform to create a queer utopia, and how this utopia constructs Twelfth Night as a queer touchstone." Points to rise in online Shakespeare performance, including ShakesTok, during covid-19 pandemic. Reminds scholars to "remain attuned" to social media Shakespeare, which "provides a playground to remix the dramaturgy of Shakespeare, as well as the culturally relevant readings which emerge from this playground."
