WHAT ME WORRY?

One of Shakespeare’s lesser know comedies. “What Me Worry” was written following the success of similarly themed works:

"Much Ado About Nothing" (1598–1599)
"As You Like It" (1599–1600)
"All’s Well That Ends Well" (1602–1603)
“What Me Worry” (1604-1605)

The play is sometimes attributed to Alfred E. Neuman.
