Shakespeare Has Had Enough
Disturbed and distressed by political leadership, a random assortment of Shakespeare’s characters got together to prepare for an intervention.

And then they confronted the villain himself and gave him the what for. We’ll have to wait for the next act to see what happened next.

lolololol great post, Josie
A "thing of no bowels" - so how did Shakespeare know about #DiaperDon?
Hung drawn and quartered? Personally I think we should bring back the stocks. A good session of mocking with rotten fruit being hurled would bring certain people down to earth.
On occasion, the stocks got a little more grim than public humiliation and the odd rotten apple. It was not an enlightened age when it came to crime and punishment. (And best not be female!)
Absolutely delicious. I look forward to the next episode.
I have to gas up the astral traveler and see what's what. But I'm sure the proposed solutions will be a tad grisly. They were not too fond of traitors back in the day.
I wish some of his ardent religious followers would understand that he really does have less faith than a stewed prune!
Stewed prune is a most felicitous phrase. And yes, agreed.
Ahhh! Shakespeare! He has 'much a'say about everyting'!
He certainly did. And if there weren't the right words - he made them up - 1,700 or so of them. He would certainly know how to skewer a Doris or Bonald.
Joy :) Thank you.
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;"
But why must so many of them engage
In being bad actors and naysayers?
Now that is a most excellent question. Why?
