Macmeg



FIRST WITCH
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

SECOND WITCH
When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the Netflix milk is gone.

THIRD WITCH
That will be ere the promised sum.

FIRST WITCH
Where the place?

SECOND WITCH
Within the breach.

THIRD WITCH
There to meet with Macmeg.

FIRST WITCH
I come, Fey Markle.

SECOND WITCH
Ginger calls.

THIRD WITCH
Anon.

ALL
Fair is foul, and foul is fair;
Hover through the Montecito air.

Till Birnam Forest come to Dun Insane.

Harry'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.

Excellent - and definitely the play du jour.

It’s also got the ideal strap line for the Netflix show - ‘A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing’.

dearieme - very good, if only I'd put that in my GCE paper.

Sam and Macheath - makes me wonder if Shakespeare came across a facsimile of Harry.

King Cuckold III's bastard 'son' should go away and shut up. He's now redundant, as Me-Again has the kids she wanted and he's no longer a 'spare'.
I'm sure there were many such bastards in Shakespeare's time - maybe most could be identified by their hair colour and facial features, as Hewitt's most certainly can.

Ed - he has also wandered into a dead end because the horrible pair only have one tune to play and are no longer young. Meghan may be able to find another outlet for her 'talents', but possibly not with Harry.

"as Hewitt's most certainly can": and yet mysteriously I've seen a photo of Harry accompanied by a photo of Prince Philip at the same age. Spitting image.
