An acting troupe plans to perform Shakespeare in Klingon. During its annual benefit set for September 25th, the Washington Shakespeare Company in Arlington, Virginia, will perform selections from “Hamlet” and “Much Ado About Nothing” in both English and the language invented for Klingon characters of the “Star Trek” films. The effort was inspired by a line spoken by English actor David Warner in “Star Trek VI,” in which his Klingon character declares, “You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.” A group in Pennsylvania calling itself the Klingon Language Institute is responsible for the translation.
