...and when he did the soliloquy he performed it so poorly that everyone in the audience began to boo him loudly. Finally in humiliation he stopped and yelled, "Give me a break! I'm just an actor, I didn't write this crap!"

Because the two words you should never say in a theater are "fire" and "Macbeth."

So if that's your last name and you somehow get hired, you've got a job for life?

That's something to think about! If Macbeth made popcorn at a theater he would have been fine. Cause what are they gonna do?

This actually happened, sort of, in Sheridan’s play « The Rivals ».
When it was performed the first night, the actor playing Sir Lucius O’Trigger was booed, and yelled to the audience « By the pow'rs, is it personal? — is it me, or the matter? », meaning « Are you booing my character, or my performance? ». Unluckily for him, it was both. Sheridan rewrote the play and also replaced the actor for the next performance.

He kept screaming, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, who wrote this crappy joke?

They say that if you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, one of them would, by accident, type out the complete works of Shakespeare.
This joke? Three monkeys, three typewriters, ten minutes.

Let’s see… “It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!” You stupid monkey!
(BTW a group of students actually tested that theory. After six months, the monkeys had failed to produce a single English word, broken the computers, and defecated all over the keyboards.)
