Apparently, he still wants to play Hamlet and fairly soon. It is definitely a young man's role. Then he can do Macbeth, then eventually King Lear. Good idea?
Of course, the performances will have to be filmed and played in cinemas around the world, just like Frankenstein. God, with ideas like this, I should be his agent or manager, whichever it is that organises these sorts of things. Better find out before I apply for the job. It's a pity he is too old for Romeo & Juliet. Imagine him climbing up to the balcony. Mmmm

I think there would be have to be more than just THREE witches, don't you? More like a complete coven.

Can I have a turn, too? Maybe we could form a band of Cumberwitches instead a band of brothers.

So who will play Lady Macbeth?

Out, damned spot!

I won't!  Expect many creepy things in the witch's house. (Gingerbread, breadcrumbs, broom, crisps, oven... )
