Shakespeare Monkey was Web Comic Monkey's roommate in college. They both graduated from Infinite Monkey University in 2007. Since then, he's been living in London, trying to make a living as a playwright.
I've been keeping up with his career largely through his correspondence with Web Comic Monkey. They try to stay in touch.
Most recently, he directed a production of Hamlet. I'm told there was a big argument over why he wasn't paid for the use of his play. The whole matter is currently in litigation. I don't expect him to win. His lawyer, Sad Sack Monkey, isn't very good.
