I already voted against part 1 of the Hitchhiker, got to vote for part 2 now. I also think the Scottish Play should be seen, not read.

I'm going with Macbeth. I haven't seen it as a play, although we did watch the movie in class after we read it. That's something I'd love to see on stage.

I went with Macbeth too, though mainly just to counterbalance DP's votes. I voted for part 1, so not part 2. Ecstatic Happiness

I did actually enjoy both of these books though.

Edmund: Oh, incidentally, Baldrick - actors are very superstitious. On no account mention the word *deleted* this evening, alright?

Baldrick: Why not?

Edmund: It brings them bad luck and it makes them very unhappy.

Baldrick: Oh, so you won't be mentioning it either?

Edmund: No... well, not very often.

(.............)

(Enter Actors)

Mossop: ...lest you continue in your quotations and mention the name of the "Scottish Play".

Keanrick: Oh-ho... never fear, I shan't do that. (laughs)

Edmund: By the "Scottish Play", I assume you mean *deleted*.

(The actors perform a ritual warding off of bad luck.)

Actors: Aahhhhh! (slapping each others hands, pat-a-cake fashion) Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. (pinch each others noses) Aaahh!

Edmund: What was that?

Keanrick: We were exorcizing evil spirits. Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theater tradition that one does *never* speak the name of the "Scottish Play".

Edmund: What, *deleted*?

Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Ohhh!

Edmund: Good lord, you mean you have to do *that* every time I say *deleted*?

Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Owwww!

Mossop: Will you please stop saying *that*! Always call it the "Scottish Play".

Edmund: So you want me to say the "Scottish Play"?

Actors: YES!!!

Edmund: Rather than *deleted*?

Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Owwwwww!

(Prince George enters.)

Prince George: For heaven's sake, what is all this hullabaloo, all this shouting and screaming and yelling blue murder? Why... it's like that play we saw the other day, what was it called... umm..

Edmund: *deleted*, sir?

Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Owwwwww!

Prince George: No, no, it was called Julius Caesar.

Edmund: Ah yes, of course. Julius Caesar... not *deleted*.

Actors: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Owwwwww!
