Shakespeare
Welcome to my theatre. It is called The Globe - because it is round, you see. As I say, you are most welcome. It will only cost you a penny. I am afraid you'll have to stand and if it rains you will get wet! The queen comes sometimes but not today. She is having her monthly bath.
Do come in. We're rehearsing my latest play called Macbeth. You're just in time for the scene with the witches.
(Enter witches. Shakespeare stands to one side - Thunder sounds)

Judge
Who is the accused?
Clerk to court
Margaret Harkett your worship. A widow of 60 years from Stanmore in Middlesex.
Judge:
Margaret Harkett, you stand accused of witchcraft. Do you plead guilty or not guilty?
Margaret
Please sir, I have done nothing. My only crime is to be a poor and lonely woman.
Judge
Call the first witness! (Bangs his hammer)
Clerk
William Godwin, a farmer, your worship.
Judge
Godwin, tell the court what you know.
Godwin.
Well, your worship, that Harkett woman came begging to the house last year asking for oatmeal. The servants said no and at that very moment one of my lambs in the kitchen - it died!
Judge
Is this true, Harkett
Harkett
The lamb was sick sir, it was just bad luck.
Judge
Bring in the next witness. (Bang)
