I thought that he was supposed to be worrying so much about the clone mom because his wife died young, or something. Just an impression.
I only watched a little of Tristan & Isolde. If you haven't already watched the BBC-produced "Shakespeare Re-told" series, you could start with that. They're available through Netflix, and possibly online. RS plays Petrucchio in the Taming of the Shrew episode (and Damien Lewis plays Benedick in Much Ado). As heretical as it might sound, I think the re-tellings are an improvement in some plot aspects, although only bits of the lovely language are left.
