Theatrical Provenance

"That Will Be Shall Be" was played by the Admiral's men at the Rose from 30 December 1596 through 5 July 1597.


Probable Genre(s)

The title appears proverbial, but no specific proverb has been linked to it. Its subject matter, therefore, is unknown.


Possible Narrative and Dramatic Sources or Analogues


No doubt there were circumstances in which early moderns said "what will be shall be," but no stories have specifically been associated with the phrase.
