The Shakespeare-Magellan Expedition is a proposed joint venture between |William Shakespeare and Magellan.
History
The original planned called for the re-routing of Shakespeare's timeline such that the Bard produced his entire body of historical work while serving as a Liberal Arts adjunct to Magellan's Expedition.
Initial discussions were promising, and several transdimensional corporations made investments offers, threats, and other efforts to "get a piece of the Expedition".
Despite computationally-intensive negotiations and a last-moment effort to avoid a Halting Problem, the deal fell apart over issues never made public, with no statements whatever from Shakespeare and Magellan.
Nonetheless, admirers of both men, including several members of the Clockwork Bard team, periodically make efforts to revive the idea, and various Shakespeare-Magellan fan clubs have staged their own smaller-scale versions of the proposed Expedition, some with impressive costumes and sets.
