I think it would interesting to see what would happen if Kevin were to try and do a new interpretation of one of the plays, like Tom Stoppard did with Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I consider that to be a brilliant piece of work, and it's amazing to se how far someone can come from using Shakespeare as a spring board.
I know it's a play that's been reinvented a hundred times, but I'd be curious to see what would happen with Kevin launching from The Tempest. Although I think his wit could go a long way with a relationship piece like Much Ado About Nothing. Although I just had this absurd image of a moden Misdummer Night's Dream with Jay as Oberon and Silent Bob as this quiet but mischevious Puck. Which I guess is the oposite of what some people might imagine, but it appeals to me somehow.
Anyone else?
