I just read the phrase “In Tennesse, William Shakespeare” as Tennesse Williams Shakespeare and I am honestly having so many bad ideas…

It’s just Shakespeare plays but set in the south and EVEN GAYER

I’m sorry, I just really love this idea and wanted to expand on it.

• A boat washes up in a Louisiana bayou with only a handful of passengers left alive. The young woman who the boat was supposed to be taking to her destination is forced to disguise herself as a man for protection, and ends up in the employ of a local rich, closeted bisexual landowner. She/he is tasked with seducing a local heiress who has sequestered herself away in mourning for her brother. Meanwhile, servants of the heiress’s house attempt to prank the v old fashioned, v southern head of staff by forging a love letter. The temperature never drops below 98%. It’s sweltering. Everyone is horny.

• The son of an old money southern millionaire must return to his families sprawling estate after his father dies mysteriously and his mother quickly remarries his uncle. On one incredibly hot night, the young heir thinks he sees the ghost of his father out in the swamp, who tells him that he was murdered, and that he must be avenged. Trapped in the confines of the estate and exasperated by the heat, the heir begins to decline in health. He feels pressured to seduce and marry the daughter of his parents irritating colleague, despite the fact that he is deeply in love w his best friend from college. Fighting w his parents about their role in his fathers death and the complexities of the socal norms he is forced to uphold ensues.

These were the only one I could think of that would work 😂 If you can, feel free to add more!
