Having some Greek food and drinks with Will Shakespeare. Ask us anything.

[Aristus]

[In_The_Wind]

1. Where the heck have you been hiding Will ?

[Aristus]

2. Stratford.

He keeps saying: "If I should chance to appear in publick, the lads from the King's Men will surely compels me to produce more plays for their enrichment! I have retired from the theater!"

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

[In_The_Wind]

5. Will should stick around. We sorely need better entertainment than the orange blowfish provides.

[Aristus]

8. The orange blowfish provides entertainment similar to that of a car wreck.

Only Will's 'Titus Andronicus' comes close...

[irisblue]

30. and Wills' well crafted and enduring insults.

[Docreed2003]

3. When are we going to get a copy of "Loves Labor Won"??!

[Aristus]

6. Never.

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.

[Docreed2003]

14. :-)...

I've also heard it could have been an alternate title for "Taming of the Shrew". Got to love Shakespearean mysteries!

[Aristus]

15. I think you're right.

I couldn't be sure which one it was.

[Docreed2003]

17. We're both right...

Theories have suggested both as being possibilities

[TexasTowelie]

4. Is Will glad to be out of jail?

[Aristus]

10. Will says:

"It weren't me, mate. Some other fellow. Warwickshire abounds with Shakespeares and Breakspeares and what-not."

[petronius]

7. Huh, I'm surprised the dude managed to post bail

[elleng]

9. Aubergine, courgette, yoghurt, filo?

Feta, Kasseri, Kefalotyri, Graviera, Anthotyros, Manouri, Metsovone, Ladotyri, Kalathaki, Katiki-Tsalafouti, Mizithra?

Heigh HO!

[Aristus]

12. Hmm.

Greek delicacies, I'm guessing...

[elleng]

19. Wide use of vegetables, other important ingredients, AND

a great variety of cheese types, because the climate and terrain has tended to favour the breeding of goats and sheep!

[Aristus]

20. Thank you for expanding my horizons!

[elleng]

21. You and Mrs. A meet me in Santorini???

[Aristus]

22. Love to!

Good luck getting Mrs. A on a plane, though...

[elleng]

23. HAHA!

[Aristus]

24. If she wasn't so afraid of flying, I would have taken

her to Europe years ago.

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

[elleng]

25. Sorry about that,

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.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. And how does Will like Greek food, my dear Aristus?

It's fantastic to see you both here tonight!

[Aristus]

13. Just fine.

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!"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Tell Will thank you for the gentle greetings!

I see he hasn't lost his touch...

[Demonaut]

16. how is Yorick feeling?

sickly last time we talked

[Aristus]

18. Long gone.

Nothing but bones now. Hamlet was pretty broken up about it...

[Demonaut]

26. Alas Poor Yorick......and whoever sent me the heart..thanks!

[nolabear]

28. How does Will feel about being called Willie the Shake?

Because I think it's cool, man.

[Aristus]

29. Where do you think The King's Men got the prop skull for Yorick?

Someone called Will 'Willie the Shake'...

[irisblue]

31. about his writtings in Klingoni...

I have off wondered how involved the audiences were?

[Aristus]

32. Hey, if we modern audiences have to puzzle out Shakespeare in English,

it's only fair that Elizabethan audiences had to sit through Shakespeare in Klingon!

Tah PaH! Tah be!
