A man of the theatre

摘要

I've been a man of the theatre for over a century. Old enough to have played Hamlet, and Richard, and any number of Henries, and Lear before my first rejuvenation — and all in my own flesh and on the stage, not as an avatar, licensed or otherwise. You remember the theatre, don't you? Of course you don't. There hasn't been a play produced in what, a quarter of a century. In what I call a play, the characters must be played by live actors, not software emulations of the dead greats of yesteryear, who never played the parts themselves—and certainty not by one of myself.
