A parody of T2: Judgement Day by Husky Jackal Theatre Company of Nashville Tennessee what sez:

We adhered to strict guidelines regarding the usage of Shakespeare’s works. Each line and phrase is taken directly from folios printed by or before 1685, and many extended sections of dialogue are composed of individual lines from separate works. Only proper nouns and pronouns were subject to change, as dictated by the plot. In these instances, all proper nouns are supplanted only by pronouns or other proper nouns, and all pronouns by other pronouns. In some cases, corresponding verb tenses are modified. These practices enabled us to accurately retell the story of Terminator 2: Judgment Day while remaining true to the words of Shakespeare in form (if less so in intent).

Currently overfunded on Kickstarter, the company has already staged the complete performance and will release a DVD this November.

The award-winning 2003 documentary On The Threshold Of Oblivion examines the infamous invasion of the Dutch village of Putten in 1944 when German troops sent the entire male population of the town to concentration camps after Dutch resistance fighters attacked a small German patrol, wounding two soldiers.

Of 602 men sent, only 48 returned home. It has been described as one of the worst German reprisals in the occupied Netherlands

In this unnerving clip, two unrepentant former German soldiers defend the actions of Wehrmacht comrades, genuinely believing they did no wrong.

Full documentary viewable online here.
