“Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Nay, it is but a phaser... set to stun.” Macbeth Quote (Act II, Scene I).

“Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Set course for sector 0,0,1; warp 9... Engage.” Macbeth Quote (Act V, Scene V).

The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven upon the place beneath. There it is twice blessed; it blesseth he who gives and he who takes.

Saw an “updated” version at the Guthrie in Minneapolis. It loses something when Birnam Wood doth come to Dunsinane via Humvee.

Yes, and from "The Merchant of Venice", not "Macbeth."

Oh well, one's as good as another, I suppose....

Anyobdy see the report a few years ago where Stewart gets POd at Star Trek: TNG fans who appear at his stage performances. From what I read, he has a right to be.

The 1995 version of Richard III, updated to a stylishly fascist England of about World War I, worked rather well.

However, what I am looking forward to is a blend of Shakespeare and science fiction, to give it an extra grandiose look.
