St. Louis Post-Dispatch gets it right (again)

[technically, this isn’t about Much Ado, but there is a connection… and it’s worth taking the tangent…]

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran an article today, entertainingly written, titled “Shakespeare’s Comedies: 8 ways to tell them apart.” It’s a smart, fun little piece.

There’s just one element missing.

The visual.

I’ve mentioned the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in the past, discussing their great and very successful use of infographics to explain the plays of Shakespeare (in coordination with the Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis). It would be awesome to see them turn this content into a graphic as well.

Regardless, it’s worth a read.
