The CBC broadcast this year’s Hockey Day in Canada festivities from Stratford, Ontario, home of the famous Stratford Shakespeare Festival. And what better way for Don Cherry to honour this location than with a little acting? Don graced us with a few lines from some Shakespare plays: the best was when he did Macbeth’s famous soliloquy about life, and wagged his thumb in the general direction of Ron MacLean when he said “It is a tale told by an idiot.” Anyway, enjoy these pictures of Don in golden robes (and a purple necktie) fit for royalty:
The funniest part of this whole thing?
The first two quotes Cherry gave weren’t Shakespeare at all – they were from the Wisdom of Solomon, which is a book in the Roman Catholic (but not Protestant) version of the Bible!
