In the Ale house after and Book idea Flashcards
How? How is another one of us gone?
Good night sweet prince.
He’d be the first to admit it
True
Good night proud loud and rowdy prince
Certainly the Burbage I knew
To good men and good players
Good night, my dear
wives exit
I don’t know how men do it without good women.
Do what?
Exactly
To Burbage.
To Burbage
God’s light, who knows the speeches know?
You’re right. No one knew the plays like he did.
you must have Will’s old scripts, don’t you?
Do we?
Ed’s got to have all the old prompt books, actor sides, he’ll know
He has to know. Those words are our lives work, Burbage’s life’s, Will’s life. If we don’t find them, they die with us.
We’ll find the plays, Henry.
( start of an idea) What.. if.. we… gather them? Collect them all. In a… BOOK.
Of Will’s plays?
Something simple, just to have them all together, so we know they’re safe. Have Crane pen them on fine paper. A collection of Will’s work, for us.
And we don’t have the rights to half of them anyway.
Yes we do. The King’s Men have all the rights to all Will’s plays. He wrote for us.
For performance…hence the artless quartos with Will’s name.
Exactly! We can’t let that be what’s remembered. John publish or vanish. That’s the choice I see.
They bought Ben’s plays. A folio collection if them.
Yes! We could publish Will’s in folio too!
years wages for a book of plays? No.
You always do this you always just say no before you even consider it.
