Happy Birthday Shakespeare!

I think the Bard would have loved this rendering of Abbott and Costello’s classic bit as performed by Jay Lebowitz and David Foubert of the Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey.  (Thanks, Sofia!)

Just in case you’ve never seen the original, here it is. 

“Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.”
