As you like it, I suppose. Frankly, I'm bard with the whole subject.
But I've always assumed it was a priest who was a much lesser known playwright, Father Benedictus--Inky Holmes, before he took up the robe--who wrote all "Shakespeare's" works. He was well known for his Church festival one-act stuff even after he joined the priesthood. Of course, the Anglican church couldn't let worldly stuff be performed under a priest's name. Sadly, few know of him today, and everyone ought to, because it's trickled down in a cliche you hear all the time (though few folks know its origin, of course)...
..."there's no plays like Holmes' for the holy days."
Freeper Freepun' PING!

Puns are the humor equivalent of mimes.
