William Shakespeare's most problematic "problem play" solved for the first time!

The solution is to present the plays as if they are being staged for the very first time, and performed by Shakespeare himself and his company of actors.

The key is to have Shakespeare's Elizabethan London audience react to the play -- laugh at what's funny, cry when it's sad, and heckle the actors whenever they feel like it -- which unlocks the meaning of the play, by providing us with a translation of what is being performed.

In addition to the adaptation of the play, there are new scenes which place the play within the context of Shakespeare's life, during the later years of Queen Elizabeth's reign.
