Linguist David Crystal and his wife Hilary performing a version of 'to be or not to be' using only words beginning with the letter H (text here).
('Get thee to a nunnery...')
Hamlet: Hypocrite! Head holy-house-wards! Hastily.
Ophelia: Help Hamlet, heavens!
Hamlet: Harlots! Hamlet's horn-mad, hysterical. Halt hymenal happenings, honeymoons. Head holy-house-wards! Hie! (Hamlet hence)
Ophelia: Hamlet's haywire. Head hingeless. High-minded horse-sense hijacked. Horrid humiliation. Heartbroken.
