Anyone who knows their Shakespeare knows that that quote's from his play Hamlet. Well, why am I talking about this? Well, I take a Shakespearean Literature class in school... and we're acting out parts of the story.
Well, acted. It was today. And I honestly only found out maybe... 10 minutes before we were supposed to perform? No lines memorized, no props, and no clue what was going on. My group had to do the part where Hamlet's ghost of a father asked him to avenge him.
Believe it or not, it actually turned out mediocre! I got it easy, I volunteered to be the ghost, who was off stage all the time. Therefore, easy access to the book! I read from the book, managed to not get caught, and even pulled of an epic Darth Vader quote in the process.
"Hamlet... I am you're father." DUN DUN DUN DUN
Annnnnd things fell apart from there. Admittingly, the Vader quote was supposed to be comic relief, but it was also improvised. My friend playing Hamlet didn't expect that, and fell into a fit of giggles. That caused everyone else to laugh and yeah, it turned out to be an epic fail. At least we were done, right?
WRONG. We have to go again tomorrow. Even though ours had "the most potential". Aye aye aye aye aye!
On a different note, my Bday's on Monday. Thread takers? <3
