I think the film, Transformers: The Last Knight is really a nightmare being had by Titus Andronicus, as Sir Anthony Hopkins features in both films.
Speaking of Titus, there is a play on Broadway that is calling itself a sequel to Titus. The only characters from the play in this new play are the midwife, the clown, and the nun. Aaron's son isn't even in it! So, this play is as much a sequel to Titus as Shock Treatment was a sequel to Rocky Horror.

And while his views of Victorian Britain in the 1860s is quite enjoyable, a score earlier, Dickens visited American and created his own account of the trip (which, coincidently, is reviewed by the Atlantic).
These two travel books, by two distinguished authors of the time are nice. Even the multiple travel memoirs of Mark Twain are still quite readable today.
Fast forward...
Been watching Stephen Fry's America. It is like watching Dickens book, only modern, but with the same overall commentary, wit, and sarcasm. There is also a book version as well, for those that like to be consistent.

The St Crispin Day speech and Marc Antony's funeral oration found in Shakespeare's plays have been generally agreed upon that those words were actually said in real life. While I'm not disagreeing with that statement... I am curious as to it's veracity as Shakespeare tended to write in iambic pentameter, which is something people rarely speak in.
On a slighter post script... Homer's works are in dactylic hexameter, which, while easy to compose in Greek, is difficult to recreate in English. This form was used by poets of the day so the oral traditions would be easier to recite in public.
