This be an idea for a story in Shakespearean dialogue. Events will actually take place in England, c.1600. Descriptions may be in contemporary English but all dialogue will be done in your best Renfaire-reject style. Fail not as you will answer the contrary at your peril.

"Come now, Milady, it is time. Bendeth thou over," Richard, the Trou Down Prince said, thrusting provocatively with his hips towards a Restoration era table. "Doeth this thing now", he added as an afterthought.

Meredith the Fair, Lady of Soixante-Neuf, brushed a wisp of sun touched blonde hair from her face, shrugged her pale, bare shoulders and lifted a dozen petticoats and hoops above her slim waist while somehow stepping out of her silken stockings. In one fluid, yet practiced, motion, she bent over the furniture, spreading her shapely legs and bracing herself with long, toned arms on the table's drop leaf.

"Getteth this foul deed over with forthwith", Meredith said in haughty aristocratic tones used mainly with the help, dismissing the Prince's blackmail threats as a big nothing.

Ummm, the language doesn't really *flow*, now does it? Kind of hard to read. Better make that a one-pager. Or an audio performance, with sound effects.
 
Not bad. But you haven't really experienced Shakespeare until you've seen it in the original Klingon.
 
But of course. And prune juice. :D
Prune juice fermented with worms, a.k.a. Dr Pepper. But I digress.

Plot bunny: Klingons time-warp to Elizabethan England and kidnap Willy the Shake. They want him to write erotic dramas of their racial history. That's the origin of KING LEAR. Translated into Anglish, censors cut the father-daughters incest bits. Incest is mandatory for Klingons, of course.
