While doing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" we realised that the received wisdom about the sour-faced Crab being the only dog to appear in Shakespeare isn't entirely accurate. In Act V sc i 247-9 Starveling the tailor, playing Moonshine, explains to the court that "this dog" is "my dog". It isn't named but it clearly appears. Oct 07 05, 1:10 PM

How many times does the word 'lord' appear in the Bible? In which novel or play does Henryk Metelski change his name to Harvey David Metcalfe?
