=- but maybe it would be better (with a few changes - the line
="Who would fardel a bear, and put up with all that grunting & sweating"
= would probably have to be replaced) to translate the bad copy? It seemed
=better suited to Klingon culture, even though the pre-Praxis writing put the
=Klingons over as idiots with no sense of culture.
=Yes, I know I'm leaving. But someone's _bound_ to perform Hamlet 'in the
=original'. Heh.
Hm.
I mean, I wouldn't be in it. The whole point of my work to date was to
see *Shakespeare* in Klingon. On the other hand, I've not been above
inserting the odd denigration of Vulcans or Terrans in my translation
(which I will upload as soon as HablI is responsive.)
Someone *is* bound to perform Hamlet in 'the original'. I would certes
like for my Much Ado to be so treated. Yet I would also like what got
performed to be... well, Hamlet.
What do others think, then?
