"they write plays about themselves not mythical subjects"?

Thank you Dan πŸ™πŸ½πŸ«‚ this seems likely πŸ«‚

I get a lot of practice with my own terrible handwriting 😁

Thats brilliant πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚ proves a very useful skill πŸ™πŸ½

I think it's "They want plays about themselves, not mythological subjects."

Ah, I think you're right

An aspiring writer (i.e., a critic), no doubt xD

This is what I thought. Perhaps something after the t in 'want'? "Wanted"? πŸ€”

I think you’re right πŸ«‚πŸ’―

Maybe: "They wanted plays about themselves *not* mythological subjects"

Not sure about the second word.

Thank you! This is brilliant and makes sense πŸ”₯πŸ«‚πŸ«‚

I know this is wrong but it's the only thing that makes somewhat sense: "They write plays about themselves, not mythical subjects"

Oh wait, this makes sense too! I’m thinking the exact wording doesn’t matter so much cos the message itself is mostly the same I think πŸ«‚ thank you! πŸ™πŸ½

Makes sense - Baroque era opera in England shunned the Italian operatic style that often focused on mythology. Instead, mocking the elite, as well as aligning the plays with the society that many found themselves in at the time seems to have been the flavour of the day for the Brits back then.

I think you’re completely right jamw πŸ«‚ - if I ever call you Jane, I apologise πŸ€£πŸ«‚ autocorrect changes it every time.

Something relatable is often favoured ❀️‍πŸ”₯πŸ’―

I’ve been called worse πŸ˜πŸ«‚
