Why shouldn?t the twists and turns of a great play inspire great music? Shakespeare?s did, when over the centuries composers found musical inspiration veiled within the iambic pentameter of prose. “The play?s the thing?,” the Bard wrote, while also quipping, “If music be the food of love, play on.”

Sounds like juicy fodder for collaboration.
