If it happens, it will be called Something Foolish, and loosely follow the plot of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ I have ideas for lots more–including a ‘Julius Caesar’ take-off that has Horatio solving a murder at a fraternity toga party during a college visit, and a version of ‘The Tempest’ in which Horatio spends a summer as an intern at a Disney World-like amusement park.”
