Shakespeare Recycled... yet again
Mar 09, 2016
"Henry VI Sock from the Right", Parts 1, 2 & 3. The Coffee Table 'Show-off' Edition. Toss this on your coffee table alongside a copy of "The Iliad" and don't have anyone doubt your erudition again. Stuck for conversation? Try, "I came across an interesting fact regarding the origin of 'Right to Life' the other day..." Throw a 'glocalization' into a sentence when things are getting a bit sticky. By the way, darling, if you come across someone who doesn't know who is being referenced in this little masterpiece, do let me know. We can have a chortle behind their backs together!

In order of slander:
Bill Gates - having just bought the rights to Shakespeare © 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved – as Henry Just-An-Ordinary-Guy.
Bono as Falstaff because he’s always fancied himself... a thespian. Bill ‘Hal’ Gates has had modifications written in to accommodate them both as they’re good eggs who have become obscenely wealthy enough to alleviate their consciences by becoming self-and-media-proclaimed philanthropists. Why not allow Henry V to be integrated? It isn’t as if it’d interfere with the historical integrity.
Sir Bob Geldof as the kid who started out with good intentions but has taken up playing with the bullies as the solution to cleaning up the school ground. With the backing of the mass media, he’s convinced other children that economics are redundant and to join his band of merry plutocrats. Get off the stage, Gandalf.
A superstring as an Henry.
Sifir’s magnificent moustaches as Henry the Signifier.
KwoMan as an historically inaccurate portrayal of two Henries, half an Edward, a William and a Richard.
