Complete Record: Shot of man going up to a woman and talking. While she is at a table. Picks up a rose and keeps talking about Kate. Kate slaps the man and he falls to the ground. Man then talks at camera and explains that the woman is a shrewd. Both the man and woman then talk to the camera about how many modern stories are works of Shakespeare. More talk about “Taming the Shrew” and about Shakespeare. Woman slaps man again and hits him into a fountain thing. They both then began to reenact a Shakespeare play. Very cheesy. Close up of man and woman and then man smells the woman’s neck. Camera follows the action more. Scene is over before woman almost hits man with a broom. Cut to titles. In background is two people looking at medieval things in a room. Swords, knights, etc. Talk about Plays in medieval times. and of course, Shakespeare. Cut to a reenactment of a Shakespeare play. Man on stairs doing a monologue. Man is wearing a fake beard. Same man from the beginning sequence. More monologue continues. Woman is down the stairs and begins talking to man that was doing the monologue. Woman goes up to man and the kisses him. He turns away. Back to hosts talking about Shakespeare. Cut to a shot of a rose and rack focus onto woman walking up. Man talking more about Shakespeare. Woman walking around in a wheat field Hosts talk some more about Shakespeare. Woman lies in bed in this reenactment of Othello. Man comes in through the door and talks to the woman and sits on her bed. Man suffocates woman and kisses her. She is now dead. Man takes off fake beard and talks about Othello. Woman comes back and they both talk about Shakespeare some more. We richer for Shakespeare having lived. The End. Credits.
