* TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples: Ditto; the script either asks, what if Shakespeare wrote the story, or proves he already did.

* CerebusRetcon: Walter's adamant Judaism and Maude's insistence on being a single mother become a lot less funny in Elizabethan context, where both would be shunned at best. The annotations make note of their bravery.
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: The whole thing, essentially, and not just in form. Many of the better-known lines from Shakespeare's work are appropriated in the text.

In what has to be the one of the fastest turn-around times from publication to staging, it spread like a meme across the web starting with its public launch on January 6th, 2010. A sold-out off-off-Broadway production ran from March 18 to April 4.

Quite funny and faithful to the original movie and to Shakespearean storytelling. Formerly hosted on [[http://www.runleiarun.com/lebowski/ the author's website]]; now being published as a humor book from Simon & Schuster.

!!This play contains examples of:
* TheAnnotatedEdition: The first printing was an annotated edition, to keep up the pretense of it being an [[InTheStyleOf authentic reprint of a Shakespeare play]]. (To be fair, the author did such a good job keeping the linguistics authentic that a fair amount of the annotations are necessary to follow the piece.)
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: The whole thing, essentially, and not just in form. Many of the better-known lines from Shakespeare's work are appropriated in the text.
* TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples: Ditto; the script either asks, what if Shakespeare wrote the story, or proves he already did.
