Why do his plays get ignored? Are they really that much worse than his prose works?I mean Shakespeare wrote plays but the ideas presented inside are on prose level.
>>25174344I remember reading that at one point he was caught out having an affair with a neighbour's wife. His response, weeks later, was to invite the other woman and her husband over to visit, then present them with a play he'd furiously written (and had his wife make copies of) and insist they had to all perform it then and there. It was a very thin analogue to what had happened where he gave everyone lines to say that he thought would smooth things over.
