Why an Airline Now Holds a Record for ‘Highest Ever Theatrical Performance’
First, easyJet put their EasyJet Airbus A319 repainted with Shakespeare’s portrait and named “Romeo Alpha Juliet” (even though the tail number is G-EZBI) on their London – Verona route for the April 23rd departure.
Next, the airline enlisted the Reduced Shakespeare Company to give a 30-minute continuous performance onboard the flight, to entertain and hopefully qualify for as a Guinness World Record for “highest ever theatrical performance” on the 450th anniversary of William’s birth.
Finally, easyJet is now encouraging all UK residents to get involved, whether they fly with the airline or not, via the Shakespeare Day petition and #shakesonaplane hashtag. Should this reach the 100,000 online signature mark, it will go before British parliament with the aim of making Shakespeare Day a thing for years to come.
