The Sorrows want the Lucera, the spiritual leader of the shadowshapers, to become one with them and "set them free." And shadowshapers are humans who can put spirits into the things that they create (art, stories, etc.) and make their creations come to life. But that's just about all we learn
Since Shakespeare's plays involve a bit of traditional language and sophistication, the players often speak in free verse. This usually happens when speaking aloud or expressing passions and emotions. Hope this helped :))
