It’s Shakespeare as it was always meant to be performed–in Klingon.
When the run of selected Shakespeare works begins on Sept. 25, the Washington Shakespeare Company will go where no performing arts group has gone before–performing the Bard’s work in Klingon, according to the Washington Post.
The first performance in Rosslyn, Va., is an annual benefit for the company. The Arlington, Va.-based group will perform selections from “Hamlet” and “Much Ado About Nothing” in Klingon.

When Star Trek: The Exhibition began its time in the Riverside Metropolitan Museum in California, expectations were high that it would be a strong source of income. However, that hasn’t turned out to be the case, according to The Press-Enterprise.
Previously located in the Philadelphia area, this “traveling exhibit of costumes, set replicas and memorabilia from the science-fiction franchise” is available to the public.
