I can recommend the following interview with Patrick Stewart about
playing Hamlet's father and Claudius, because it's like a
scene-within-a-scene about personal "time," and not a Holo-Deck memory
about Captain Picard's life. Very poignant, honest, and revealing.
I'd like to see Stewart, at 66, play Lear or Shakespeare, himself. I'm
sure he could do a competent job reading the sonnets.
