This weekend I brought up a children’s cartoon, Strawberry Shortcake, on Tivo for the kids. It did not escape my attention that the name of the episode was “The Play’s The Thing.” Would there actually be a Shakespeare reference worth blogging? Well, no. It’s raining out, the friends can’t go outside, so they get some dressup clothes and put on a play. The play is actually Cinderella. So as far as I can tell, not a single Shakespeare reference. But I couldn’t let the reference go by. Somebody stuck it in there, so it’s worth acknowledging. That’s how we get more.
