    This gives me chills every time I hear it. What a way to open a play... suspend you disbelief and let your imagination soar. I've heard it was the first play performed at the Globe theatre. What a speech to inaugurate that "cockpit.

    That's where genius lies...

    Jacobi's performance is tremendous here, that's one of the best opening ever, to me.

    He is unequaled ... there are many ways to read the words, but I have never seen it done like this -- Sir Derek understands and projects from the depths of his soul, and this entire scene builds and builds. I wish I could put it into words, but alas, my name is not WIlliam Shakespeare
