RSC to Bring Lost Shakespeare to Michigan

Backstage: "The University of Michigan will collaborate with the Royal Shakespeare Company to develop three new plays—including a so-called “lost” play believed to be authored by William Shakespeare and a collaborator, John Fletcher."

That sounds like a really cool opportunity. Although I'm a little suspicious about a 'lost play' from Shakespeare. Only time will tell, I suppose. Still, the opportunity to collaborate on something like that would be a really informative and educational.

That must be really phenomenal to be able to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company. To be honest, the lost play makes me think of Doctor Who where they say that the lost play was a sequel to Love's Labour's Lost called Love's Labour's Won. That comes to mind mainly because the actor that plays the Doctor is David Tennant and he works with RSC every so often and most recently, played Hamlet. Nerdy deviation aside, its really cool that the RSC is coming to Michigan to develop new shows - I'll be interested to see what comes out of that collaboration.
