Replying to @B4ShakesYep. Unsurprisingly, I'm thinking of mad scene in Cobblers; already had Isabella as model; will look out for Pandora. Ta! #b4shakes8:24 PM - Jun 15, 2017

So this tragedy ends in triumph and marriage. That's my kind of tragedy. #b4shakes8:25 PM - Jun 15, 2017



So up for opening this can of worms at some stage: are some elements more in flux than others? Music (esp notation) certainly is #b4shakes twitter.com/B4Shakes/statu…8:26 PM - Jun 15, 2017

Tamburlaine ends his play talking to his 'loving followers'. He's such a Twitter player. #b4shakes8:26 PM - Jun 15, 2017



I suspect @JoeDramaTurg would agree with you? Again, I'd say that fluidity is more self-evident rather than more fluid. #b4shakes twitter.com/fiddlersjig/st…8:28 PM - Jun 15, 2017



Replying to @fiddlersjig- music and prologues are mutable in printed plays, but might dialogue etc be equally so in performance? (just asking) #b4shakes8:29 PM - Jun 15, 2017

We have evidence for this particular play. The publisher *assures* you this isn't a performance text. #b4shakes twitter.com/b4shakes/statu…8:40 PM - Jun 15, 2017
