We could pretend, but I don't need to pretend.

She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes FTLN 054260 In shape no bigger than an agate stone FTLN 0543 On the forefinger of an alderman, FTLN 0544 Drawn with a team of little atomi FTLN 0545 Over men’s noses as they lie asleep. FTLN 0546 Her wagon spokes made of long spinners’ legs
She is a dream fairy and Mercutio warns about such. This is before the party, where he speaks to many lusty gentlemen, preparing them for this night, making Mercutio the greatest hypeman of the 16th Century.

O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyed? Both truth and beauty on my love depends; So dost thou too, and therein dignified. Make answer, Muse: wilt thou not haply say 5 'Truth needs no colour, with his colour fix'd; Beauty no pencil, beauty's truth to lay; But best is best, if never intermix'd?' Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb? Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee 10 To make him much outlive a gilded tomb, And to be praised of ages yet to be. Then do thy office, Muse; I teach thee how To make him seem long hence as he shows now.

In the decades after Lincoln, Shakespeare productions were a constant feature of frontier life in the west. When Los Angeles became the company town for an emerging film industry, Shakespeare shape-shifted again, becoming part of Hollywood westerns. He had been performed by companies up and down California for decades.
It's truly insane to see the fact that Shakespeare is still now being performed and studied, even 500 years ago. William Shakespeare was born in April 26, 1564, and his work is still studied today in 2016.
