1. Shakespeare meditates on whether...
Delete "not inevitable" - it's redundant.

2. ... a cosmic dance came from the new...

3. On the night...

"to put on" = a phrasal verb -- http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/verbs.htm#phrasal and http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verbs-phrasal-verbs.htm

4. delete "the" before "regicide" and before "false"
comma after "appearances"
The way you have phrased this is just fine. Check out the 5th example here:

5. #4 is better.

6. suggests -- yes, all are fine.
