"All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts"

~ William Shakespeare

All the world's indeed a stage

We are merely players

Performers and portrayers

Each another's audience outside the gilded cage

Lyrics - Alan Parsons

Screeched by Geddy Lee

I only ever “hear” all the worlds indeed a stage (and then we are merely players) in Geddy’s insanely high (but mighty) screech. Limelight is one of my favs.

If all the world's a stage, who's the audience?

I was thinking that when I wrote the question. Does that mean that asteroids are like the jujifruits and other cinemuck found on the floors?

Shakespeare? Don't you mean, Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford?

Wonder if we'll ever know for sure who wrote all that great literature?
