Shakespeare's Last Laugh: (A Serious Revenge Comedy) - Paperback

by Mark E. Alcamo (Author)
This is the true enough story of how Shakespeare and the players got in a world of trouble for portraying a distant relative of one of the nobility as a low-life reprobate knight onstage. The players made every effort to appease the offended family but they just wouldn't let it go, and they made sure the players paid the price for their indiscretion. Eventually the actor who played the rogue knight is compelled to "retire" from the stage. It is a devastating and humiliating episode for Shakespeare's players.
But the nobility didn't know who they were dealing with-Shakespeare wasn't about to let their abuses go unanswered. He was very smart, and very clever. He would have his way with them. (Not to mention, he was also, especially, very witty.)
Discover the untold story of the Oldcastle controversy and how Shakespeare balanced the scales of justice on the authorities for their vindictive misuse of the players. (And how he also managed to get the last laugh.)
Don't miss this firsthand experience of Shakespeare's genius!
