Love's Labours

Morning

As Debra at She Who Seeks has mentioned, today is (purportedly) Shakespeare's birthday, born in 1564. In keeping with his perfect sense of timing, he (purportedly) died on the same date in 1616. And his work is still performed and adapted more than 400 years later. You may not think you know or like Shakespeare, but as the writing community might tell you: There are no themes or plots Shakespeare didn't already cover.




Some of his unfinished work (purportedly) includes  Love's Labours Won -- a sequel to Love's Labours Lost. My buddy is putting the finishing touches on a new stage comedy featuring Oberon, Puck, and Ariel, references many of Will's works, and is titled Love's Labors.

I wonder if it could be staged in the nude.








How fun would that be?

Having done community theater... where would one hide their "cheat sheets"...?
