Consider Shakespeare’s plays and the competing claims of those who work with them.

Here is a lens. Sometimes opera companies, hoping to attract a ready audience, employ Broadway directors with modern production values.

Lighting, staging, casting, costumes, music, text, and choreography all live on the same street but walk past each other every day; an Esso gas station can live over a faithful orchestra and not know they are in the same production.

In what room can Shakespeare grow? In what medium can alignment remain? Comic books? Audiobooks? What about books?
