What's done is done

Treated my parents to their first Shakespeare in the Park experience where the Singapore Repertory Theatre was putting up a "modernised" Macbeth at Fort Canning. Overall play was well-paced and performed though some of the contemporary touches fell short, e.g. Macbeth using a gun (ok) but a mobile phone camera? Seriously.

The play took me back to my English class stint in Canada as a rather over-the-top Lady Macbeth.... and I just realised the OAC Grade 13 was phased out in 2005! In remembrance, here's quotes from Shakespeare's most tragic drama queen:

Look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under it.

Screw your courage to the sticking place.

Nought's had, all's spent
Where our desire is got without content.
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than, by destruction, dwell in doubtful joy.

Out, damned spot! Out, I say!

What's done is done.

Life'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.

(For you smart alecks, yes, the last one was said by Macbeth)
