I went to see Something Rotten: The Musical at the Peace Center in Greenville, South Carolina. It is a play about Shakespeare's failing completion: the Bottom brothers. Nick, the older brother, seeking his break, hires a fortune teller with his family's savings without telling the rest of his family. Nick and the fortune teller try to discover the plot of what will be Shakespeare's most famous play. They discover Hamlet, but a lot of it gets lost in translation. Instead of Hamlet, they write the Tragedy of Omelette. Also, they discover the art of the musical, something Shakespeare never did. My favorite song was "It's Hard to be the Bard," which is sung by a disgruntled Shakespeare and includes him screaming at his pen. I feel that on an emotional level. Also, now I have a song to listen to while I write papers.
