When the gallows are inevitable

Abstract

Four hundred and fifty of us were in the banquet hall, the guests of a pharmaceutical company. The venue in Sun City, at the 8th Family Practice Congress was prepared with great care , so also the menu and the evening's entertainment. The room darkened and an enormous screen lit up presenting ... Shakespeare himself. He skilfully gave a most remarkable commentary on the characters in his various plays. We were spellbound, stunned by the superb use of technology and the scholarly analysis presented by the maestro himself, as it were.
