Why should you care about Shakespeare?
So much entertainment - it's amazing.
If you like any form of media,
then you're probably going to run into some sort
of Shakespeare reference at some point.
His characters are completely timeless,
and even centuries later,
we can still relate to their issues.
Where are we right now?
Austin, Texas!
Global Hamlet is a play
that we're putting on,
with different kids all around the world.
This is Poison Peepers,
because almost everybody is poisoned in Hamlet.

Let's say Hamlet is one kid in China,
but then you'll travel to India,
and Hamlet will be a totally different person.
One word at a time.
"to take arms against..."
Do a gesture with your word.
"tooooooooo..."
"tooooooo"
It's gonna be cool to see how
everyone interprets it differently.
Because so many different people will get to be in this one play.
"To be, or not to be? That is the question."
[silly voice]
"To be, or not to be? That is the question."
[French accent]
"To be, or not to be? That is the question."
[silly voice]
No matter what setting you put Shakespeare in,
odds are, it's probably going to still make sense.
Tweet! "To be, or not to be? That is the question."
[roller derby style]
"Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer..."
[anime style]
"The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,"
[anime style]
"Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,"
[High society style]
"And, by opposing, end them?"
[opera style]
"To die,"
[battle style]
"to sleep -- No more."
[battle style]
We're bringing Shakespeare to people all over the world.
It's like everyone's connected by Shakespeare.
"To be, or not to be? That is the question."
Shakespeare, Shakespeare, yeah!!
