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

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.

(16,858 posts)I've also heard it could have been an alternate title for "Taming of the Shrew". Got to love Shakespearean mysteries!
Aristus
(66,327 posts)I couldn't be sure which one it was.
Docreed2003
(16,858 posts)Theories have suggested both as being possibilities

I used to be an intrepid world traveller. Now I only go to contiguous countries; Mexico and Canada...

(130,876 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
(66,327 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!"

(32,969 posts)I have off wondered how involved the audiences were?
Aristus
(66,327 posts)it's only fair that Elizabethan audiences had to sit through Shakespeare in Klingon!
