Tomorrow CJ will be coming over so that should be as fun as a barrel
of monkeys but hopefully not as dangerous. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Shakespeare's Lost Plays
Shakespeare made many, many works in his lifetime. Yet some works
never went public. Never saw the light of day. Lost to the shadows of
his mind, home and maybe a few drafts and practices. Though now the
annals of history. Why would such a great man deprive the world of
his works?
Because he didn't think he would make any money of them.
In the old ages people needed their meal tickets as much as anybody
does now. Shakespeare produced a wrote plays in those days, and like
the producers of our era he needed to make ends meet. The great works
of Shakespeare, spinoffs, ripoffs, and innovations of old tales. The
man was Hollywood before Hollywood existed. The Lost Plays were the
scripts that didn't make the cut that would allow the great poet to
eat next week. The same thing strikes artistry today.
History lost many of Shakespeare's plays due to his need for a
practical living. How many artists last that truly starve? And now
the world sees lost work from so many others from the same principle.
How many works of humanity's Shakespeare's have been lost due to
their mortal needs? How much is their work made only because they are
mortal?
Author Comment: I didn't have the time to come up with anything with
a plot, so I came up with something “deep”.
