Day 115: So WHO wrote Pericles?

Shakespeare and Wilkins fight to the finish in the play by The Rude Mechanicals

Was Pericles, Prince of Tyre written by William Shakespeare?  Well, maybe. Apparently the common consensus is that it was a collaboration between him and George Wilkins, a dramatist and, *ahem* bawdy innkeeper. A pimp. He was a pimp. That explains a LOT about the entire middle part of the play. (Hint: There are a tonne of pimps. And pirates. And possibly pimp pirates. Yeah, the whole thing's a mess.)
