Re: Exactly so, ma’am Kabu.
Sitting through a Shakespeare musical will,in itself, be a tragedy, Lol 😆 Ha ha.

Re: Sherri G,
Probably it’ll be impossibly difficult to find another so Myriad-minded a talent like Shakespeare. He was equally at home writing on any subject. His sensibilities soared over all there. The beauty, timing, human nature, call it whatever. His genius was such. You’ve given me an idea to write on, Thank you, ma’am.🧑🏼🦲

Shakespeare was an expert on writing tragic stories, from Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet to Anthony & Cleopatra, King Lear, and Hamlet. I find it odd how he went from one extreme to the other by covering comedies like All's Well That Ends Well and A Midsummer Night's Dream, among others.

I was thinking the same that rewriting the ending to appease the mind is a great travesty to the work itself.

Goodness me. You can't watch King Lear with am altered ending! This is Shakespeare. We don't sit through Shakespeare and hope it all ends pretty and fluffy like a musical. Real life doesn't work that way. Don't want to see that version.
