Certes, good sir, you quote the great Bard most trippingly,
Stepping as lightly as the duelist I know thee to be,
Treading with sure and steady steps thy point to make;
Thy story, as always, gives one some parting thoughts to take.

A note about the King James Bible: The text was pored over by six six-man committees working from Latin and Hebrew texts, and the final product was edited and translated in the English of the time so that it sounded good.
Yes, they were more worried about how it sounded to a congregant's ear. Still, it gave Old Jimmy some fame, since it was dedicated to him and he bankrolled the operation.

You write very "instructively." There's always something to learn from it.
This whole topic reminded me of a couple books on my shelf written by Sir Thomas Malory. "Le Morte D'Arthur." He lived about 150 years before Shakespeare. If you want to learn more about the Arthurian legends, it's a Must Read. Not an easy read, but a worth while one.

[Marcus and Dr. Franklin have just seen 'Arthur' off]
Marcus Cole: Where my people come from, his story has great power. I'll miss him.
Dr. Stephen Franklin: Even if he wasn't Arthur?
Marcus Cole: [as Kosh appears] Now, now! Next thing you'll be saying is he's not Merlin! - Merlin was a great teacher, you know!
Dr. Stephen Franklin: I'm not hearing this.
Marcus Cole: They say he aged backwards. That was how he was able to foretell the future - by remembering it! Which means he came from the future! Maybe he had Arthur form the Round Table by remembering us! We're forming one of our own, after all. Which makes you Percival. I'm Galahad, him being sinless and all. Sheridan is Arthur. Ivanova, perhaps Gawain. I think we both know who Mordred is. So the question is - who is Morgana le Fay?

As the line goes in Contact, "They should have sent a poet." Though I do believe poetry, storytelling, science and logic are all equally important.
"Since actors were not allowed within the city limits" - can we bring this law back? ;) Seriously though what was the purpose of that?
"Like Will, you are especially able to laugh at life and get away with it." - in the modern day too many people have forgotten this, or the ability to laugh at themselves, no, we have to take everything so very very seriously.
Entertaining and educational story as always V!

I genuinely had to stop to check if "bazillion" is an actual word or something made up for the sake of exaggeration. It's real and it's definition basically boils down to "an exaggeration".
Hope after that one little mishap the rest of teaching the theatre troupe went well.
Very inspiring words; I think you are already playing to your audience in quite the meaningful manner.

Actually I was thinkin old school. Andy Capp. Beatle Bailey. Hagar the Horrible. Snoopy. Pogo was one of my faves. Sometimes it's just a quick strip... 1 to 4 boxes. Sometimes it's a series of strips that tell a story. In comic terms... it's either a short story (one strip) or a novel (several strips). Dick Tracey was probably one of the best examples.
Hmmm... "hair pie". Can't speak for that example, but Will very much loved his dirty jokes and innuendo (*cough* Much Ado About Nothing). Its just that most of these need to be explained to a modern audience and thus lose the humor.
A good and interesting story as usual!

Your comment about captioning reminded me.
Eons ago I watched "Hamlet" starring Mel Gibson. I was entranced by his performance, but it wasn't until I watched it with the captioning on and could put words and deeds together (along with emotional intent) that I was truly captivated by the whole thing. It was like I finally unlocked the secret to Shakespeare. And I've relied on captioning ever since to give me a better understanding of certain shows.

that was such a good movie too... yes, Shakespeare really knew how to work his audience, though I, for one, prefer comedy over tragedy...
Danny DeVito had a movie called 'The Renaissance Man' that was most excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBlMLlfJrRc
