I was kinda disappointed when I saw what the article was actually about because when I clicked it, I thought I would learn some interesting history about Shakespeare having acted before in some of his plays or something, but instead I got met with this. Despite the clickbaiting, it was still fun to go through. I always love when plays and musicals give a bit of focus to writers and/or the writer of the play or musical as either a thematic message or joke. When a play/musical is about a writer, it's also very interesting and can be fun to think about and play with as both consumer and creator. As long as it's done right and in a smart way, I tend to enjoy those things. I have unfortunately never been able to see any of these productions, but I hope one day I can witness them in some form!
