He claimed they simply stole, I mean borrowed, Shakes' plotlines and updated them. After learning this, I made a point of watching for it and found it to be true.

The thought had occurred to me, more or less, but I kept wondering why in the hell would it eventually get typed up the way it is, if that's the case? I was thinking, if were me, I'd have the actors kind of riff on it, embellish it with natural ticks, while I kept the script more straightforward which is what you're implying Allen may do.
