- the longest 'have some surprise identity reveals and convoluted explanations!' scene in all of Shakespeare, observed by an audience of confused captive Romans

All of a sudden this made me wonder what the actually longest one of these is in DWJ.

- (I can't believe I had completely forgotten the existence of the scene in which Jupiter descends from the heavens to consult with some ghosts but Boston Shakespeare in the Park wanted to make sure you NOTICED it)

I am actually pretty sure the last production I saw of Cymbeline didn't have that, because I would have remembered it!

and still has the avalanche of guilt to allow the end of the play to go forward pretty much unchanged, with extra crossdressing banter and without any attempted wife murder at all.

Sold. Thanks, you and [personal profile] genarti.

(. . . are you going to write it?)
