It would be nice if one day somebody were to actually write this play. With an analysis like this to hand - together with the preceding play - it surely couldn't be beyond the wit of a sufficiently imaginative contender.
This indeed is the natural next step, John. The more people who throw their support behind New Lyre and become regular New Lyre readers, these and many more wonderful and related projects will become possible.
This is a fine essay regarding one of the world's most timeless plays and the good fortune by which it was preserved and developed throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and now comes to us almost intact ( apart from the ending and some missing passages) as a major work from antiquity. I particularly like the segment where the author tell us how he translated the surviving Greek and Latin passages, then meticulously assembled them in order to reconstruct something as close as possible to the play's original plot. This is a fine essay - detailed, informative and very well written. Nice job, Carey!

Some are already in the works.
Yes, that would be just great. I can already visualise the whole play from this analysis.
Very well written and very informative.
