The Bar-me Barrel is a pub where Shakespearean protagonists—revered and respected—run into each other and reveal their true nature. They are tired of the persona they have had to maintain to save their title, wealth or life. They sit there and drink the questionable brews created by Touchstone and Puck, the bar owners, and reveal to the readers who they really are. As the readers turn the pages, they will discover the flaws in the heroes they have looked up to all these years.
