Take a classic Shakespeare play, change the setting to Africa, and throw in a troop of singing baboons -- and you might come up with something like the new Alexander McCall Smith opera. The Scottish author and creator of the much-loved Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books has penned the libretto to a new musical which has its premiere in Botswana, as part of a plan to help foster native musical talents. Duration: 02:24.

@bemaniac2
maybe for people who are so distracted by racial arguing, it would be easier if the cast was white instead?

Turning a Shakespherean play into a musical is pretty radical.
