There's a lot of scenes in MacBeth. Even professional Shakespeare companies often cut lines or entire scenes out in their performances.

Personally I've grown bored of the idea of taking something from popular culture and just replacing all the characters with clocks. I mean it's like, what's the point? If you're gonna parody something popular then you may aswell do it in a way that a majority of people can actually appreciate. Not trying to shit on your parade, this just doesn't do it for me
