Only Will'sdad John is pleased because now that Will has bought him a coatof arms he is officially a gentleman, even if none of hisbehaviour is in any way gentlemanly.Meanwhile the players needanother box office smash and it looks like Hamlet is going toneed a bit more thinking about. As luck would have it, Willdoes have an idea for a new comedy - but there's something notquite right about the title for Love's Labour's Licked.
