# Image Archive: Shakespeare's Sword Handover Scene

![In a dramatic scene from Rooftop Productions' (天台製作) contemporary theatre piece 'History Play' (《曲解莎劇》), Wong Chun-lung, portraying Bill Shakespeare, gestures intensely while holding a microphone toward Melo Man, who plays the Earl of Essex. They stand on a minimalist stage bathed in vibrant red lighting under stage spotlights. To the left, a performer stands on a stool, and to the right, Shirley Wong, cast as Augustine Phillips, watches intently. As Bill Shakespeare hands over his weapon, he speaks the line: "Here, take my sword, I shouldn't have brought it."](https://www.rooftopproductions.hk/image/history-play-show-20251029-223506)
