And now we know who will be playing each other in the Shakespeare World Cup final on Sunday! IT'S GONNA BE....
By and large I've been OK with the dramatically-arbitrary, numerically-determined character assignments for each team, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to narratively justify Timon's cruise through this tournament. He's energetic, well-disciplined, and controlled, and will probably (PROBABLY) defeat the powerful sorcerer-duke Prospero. I'm kind of dreading having to figure out how to make that work... Even Act 1 rich-and-happy Timon can't rationally be expected to defeat an actual magician with elemental spirits at his command.
