Star Trek Klingon Hamlet taH pagh taHbe' (To be or not to be)

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2092459/
Here it is! The premiere of Klingon Hamlet: taH Pagh taHbe', a Still Picture Production performed by Brian Rivera and directed by Amir Sharafeh. In honor of Star Trek, Klingons and lovers of the works of Shakespeare. We had to rush things (my fault), and this vid is a rough rendition that I need to tweak the conversion on, but nonetheless - Qapla'!

PS Among many others, many thanks of course to Nick Nicholas and Lawrence Schoen and the rest of the Klingon Language Institute. For further knowledge, please check out there website starting from here: http://www.kli.org/stuff/Hamlet.html

Okay this is just awesome! I would pay to see this thing completed...!

Thank you! I think a One Act selection of scenes (with supertitles) would work well.

I would buy a full copy of the book or contact the Klingon Language Institute. I'm not saying this to be a jerk. You see, when I first heard of this translation, I looked everywhere for JUST a copy of this soliloquy, to no avail. I eventually caved in and bemoanedly bought a copy of the whole book. At the time, I was a little annoyed as I only wanted that monologue, but when I looked back, I realized it was important to support the KLI wiht my purchase for their hard work.

As a Shakespeare-ophile, I have to say, really impressive. It's amazing how much emotion comes through even in Klingon!

Macbeth needs to be done. "Is this a dagger I see before me?"

Thanks! Once I get a few more soliloquies under my belt and get some actor friends involved, I'll let you know.
