Yes, well. Personally, once you get into writing very loooong 
stories, you suddenly begin to appreciate why poor Jo can't recall 
earlier bits of canon. Two thirds of the way in and it's 
already 'what the hell did I call that bit-part character in Chapter 
5?' By now Jo is probably on the 'what was Book 2 about again?'

Shakespeare was written by Shakespeare. No actor would ever dream of 
working for a theatre called 'The Royal Bacon Company'. 

Even if their performance style might be ideally suited. {g}
