Wikipedia

Today I was sitting at home when i decided to start doing my way over due coursework for Drama. So I sat down, opened my book and started working on the notes Ms.Cornish had given me. After about half an hour I came onto Reaissance Theatre. So I decided to look it up on google. As usual the first thing that came up was Wikipedia. So I clicked on the link and started to read. I looked at the note she had written me and it told me to look up the type of theatre it was performed in. So I scrolled down the page and sure enough there was a Sub Heading that read: Theatre. So I started to read and was shocked by what I found.

Theatres

once they were in operation, drama was mainly based on sex related plays,often including bondage porn and rape, however after shakespeare's death it got less brutal but more pleasent.it ended up just being 2 lovers having sex on stage at the turn of the century. however shakespeare's inflyuence on plays involving sex was not lost permanently when in 1608 an english farmer made a play involving the ghost of WIlliam raping his accompliaces from his time. bondage porn plays were introduced again in 1800 by sir richard awkright and he famously invented the daisy chain by havin all the whores in town licking eac ohter out on stage... he sadly died after catching 3 STDs.

As I looked over the rest of the page I realised that there was an edit button below each Sub Heading making it assessable to the public. Shocked that I hadn't realised this and annoyed that it wasn't made clear enough, I realised a lot of the information I had collected all over the years could of all been made up. Just shows you can't always trust the internet!
