A Little More Shakespeare in Hee Haw

Hee Haw. Fl. 1969–1971. Details for these clips uncertain / Blogger too lazy to track them down. But cf. "Shakespeare in Hee Haw" for the general kind of information you might need or expect.
I posted something on how Shakespeare made his way into Hee Haw a while ago (see the link above for that post), but I found a little more to add.

The clip below draws from two episodes of the show and two Shakespeare plays. First, we'll have a take on Julius Caesar—the part where Calpurnia tries to dissuade Caesar from going to the Capitol. Next, we'll have a quick examination of a line from Romeo and Juliet.


And there you have it!

Unless otherwise indicated, quotations from Shakespeare's works are from the following edition:
