Imaginative!
I enjoyed this brief glimpse at what it might have been like to meet Shakespeare writing in a pub like a modern novelist in a coffee shop. Very clever interactions.
The ending switched gears a bit rapidly for me, so I got confused there, but still found the whole thing fun.
Canfield has a marvelous sense of timing in his dialogue and physical comedy!
