Once you start this tinkering, where do you stop? The Winter's Tale has quite a number of obsolete or arcane terms that occur nowhere of obsolete or arcane terms that occur nowhere else in Shakespeare--such as neb, hoxes, callet, losel, pugging, dibble, caddises, barne, and pettitoes.

Beginning in March of 1973, as one by one the men began to be released, Camillo met them at the gate, and The Family was born. Since then they have performed in churches, high schools, the streets. In between, Camillo has often manufactured rehearsals just to keep...
Even with a hit, The Family troupers are still struggling. They hope to find backing for a cross-country prison tour, but so far they have received no new grants.
