Shakespeare in Love

Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard
Henslowe
Mr. Fennyman, let me explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. Believe me, to be closed by the plague is a bagatelle in the ups and downs of owning a theatre.
Fennyman
So what do we do?
Henslowe
Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Fennyman
How?
Henslowe
I don’t know. It’s a mystery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
