Feng was a legendary Jutish chieftain and the prototype for William Shakespeare's King Claudius.
 He appears in "Chronicon Lethrense" and in Saxo Grammaticus' "Gesta Danorum" (book 3).
Professor Thomas J. King Jr. (July 25, 1925 – 1994) was an educator, and an early user of word processing and sequence analysis to compare available early versions of William Shakespeare's plays for identification of variant texts and their analysis.
 Dr. King's historical work also researched original prompt copies of Elizabethan Era and Jacobean Era plays contemporary to Shakespeare, along with their marginalia, in order to identify stage directions and infer physical staging of Shakespeare's plays at the Globe and other London venues, as well as at provincial halls and inns where Elizabethan troupes performed on tour.
 In his extensive studies, Prof. King created databases of every Shakespeare play and other extant Elizabethan contemporary playhouse documents, by scene and character, to determine number of lines, and therefore the roles that could be doubled with sufficient time between for costume change, thus enabling him to determine the size of a working Elizabethan theater company.
King Claudius is a fictional character and the primary antagonist of William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet".
 He is the brother to King Hamlet, second husband to Gertrude and uncle and later stepfather to Hamlet.
 He obtained the throne of Denmark by murdering his own brother with poison and then marrying the late king's widow.
 He is loosely based on the Jutish chieftain Feng who appears in "Chronicon Lethrense" and in Saxo Grammaticus' "Gesta Danorum".
 There had never been an actual Danish King of that name.

"The Taming of the Shrew" in performance has had an uneven history.
 Popular in Shakespeare's day, the play fell out of favour during the seventeenth century, when it was replaced on the stage by John Lacy's "Sauny the Scott".
 The original Shakespearean text was not performed at all during the eighteenth century, with David Garrick's adaptation "Catharine and Petruchio" dominating the stage.
 After over two hundred years without a performance, the play returned to the British stage in 1844, the last Shakespeare play restored to the repertory.
 However, it was only in the 1890s that the dominance of "Catharine and Petruchio" began to wain, and productions of "The Shrew" become more regular.
 Moving into the twentieth century, the play's popularity increased considerably, and it became one of Shakespeare's most frequently staged plays, with productions taking place all over the world.
 This trend has continued into the twenty-first century, with the play as popular now as it was when first written.
