I was sitting here thinking "I need a working title for this story. And it pretty nearly *must* be a Shakespeare quote. Oh! Hey! I spent years marking up my scripts when I found lines that I liked. I'll just...."
Yeah. They're all in California.

Basic story is Gibsonian cyberpunk. A bizcorp president is ousted from his position by his brother's underhanded maneuverings. He goes underground to escape assassination, and assembles a troupe of actors to plot his revenge.

"We Petty Men"
(From Julius Caesar)

"Holy Saints and Wronged Souls"
(From Richard III)

The most obvious one I can think of is "The Play's the Thing."

Yeah, I thought about that, and if I don't end up using that device at the end of the story then that'd be a good choice, but I don't want to hang a lantern on my climax. There's going to be a lot of Hamlet in there, I expect, along with Richard and Caesar.

I suspect if you found an online copy of the script for Hamlet, it would be bursting with ideas. :)

Sadly, all I can think of from Hamlet right now is David Tennant wandering around in a red T-shirt, showing off his hip bones... yummy.

Not a bad thing. Just not very helpful to you in your current predicament. :)

Now, *that's* a juicy idea. Good luck with it.

(I got nothing on the quotes, sorry.)
