Filmmaker and writer Phoebe Nir has organized the party around “the authorship question”—a debate over who’s responsible for masterworks like “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet.”
Why perform at the De Vere Ball? “I heard that Taylor Lorenz was gonna be there and just had to join,” Pink told The Daily Beast. And where does he stand on the authorship question? “I have a soft spot for the unauthorized version of all things.”
Nir is aware of how recruiting Pink for the ball could come off: she’s betting the raised eyebrows will help her cause. “I trust in the work,” Nir said. “I think that it’s serious and beautiful enough on its own terms that even if it’s framed in a little bit of an edgy way, or it’s like a Red Scare thing, or the first time you hear about it is in the context of something that does seem a little edgy or a little bit canceled, I think it’s gonna get more people to read Shakespeare.”
And even if you have no interest in the authorship question, the ball serves another purpose: “Something that’s a real feather in my cap from the last ball is that multiple people are still dating who met at the De Vere Ball six months ago,” Nir said. That’s something I’m really proud of, and I think it speaks to the fact that it’s not some sweaty rave, or whatever. It’s its own thing.”
