Can you guess the title and author of the novel depicted in the picture?
DIFFICULTY : Hard
CLUE : Naming this one's movie adaptation will not count, but if you "doo" a "little" research, I'm sure you can name the original title of this play!
This play has been rewritten, repurposed, and reperformed so many times, retold and borrowed from over the years I will be surprised if anyone actually knows the source material. With that idea in mind, recently, well, maybe about five or six years ago (I can't remember exactly and I don't want to google the show in fear of opening healed wounds of disappointment and longing), a television program was made using a modern retelling of this story staring Karen Gillan and John Cho and I loved it. It was light and fun, but also had a serious and dark side, probably a little premature for the audiences of the time (it most likely would have done much better nowadays). I still think about this series from time to time and how much the last episode I watched has stuck with me over the years.
