I managed to convince him to come out for a pub crawl for old time's sake.

(16,850 posts)That was an alternate title for "Much Ado About Nothing".
Although people accuse Philip Henslowe of creating titles of non-existent plays in order to fool the play-going public that the Lord Chamberlain's Men had more plays than they actually did.

(16,850 posts)I've also heard it could have been an alternate title for "Taming of the Shrew". Got to love Shakespearean mysteries!
Aristus
(66,286 posts)I couldn't be sure which one it was.
Docreed2003
(16,850 posts)Theories have suggested both as being possibilities

(130,732 posts)but glad you have a good companion. My family and I were 'intrepid world travelers' too, my brother STILL is, but me not so much any more. May get back into it some day.

Aristus
(66,286 posts)Plenty of beef and lamb, which he's used to. The cheeses take some getting used to, accustomed as he is to England's hard cheeses, Stilton, Cheddar, Cheshire, and so on.
Will says: "Pegeen lass! Long time and well met! I kiss my hand at thee a thousand times!"

(32,929 posts)I have off wondered how involved the audiences were?
Aristus
(66,286 posts)it's only fair that Elizabethan audiences had to sit through Shakespeare in Klingon!
