now a broadway musical

Twas a moonless night...because the sun had exploded! Earth is no more and humanity now lives among the stars, either cruising for centauries among the great generation ships or traversing the perils of folded space. Water is the only truly universal currency and the only law is that of the llazzzerrr, imposed by intelligent unfeeling machines! A gallant crew of misfits steals a time -atron from the galactic robot empire in a desperate bid to escape from this harsh era, but it malfunctions, bringing back an unlikely hero from the past. Now, it will take the world’s greatest playwright to teach robots humanity and restore the liquid life blood to a cold parched space. And thus begins the adventures of...Shakespeare and the Ice pirates!

The robot glared menacingly at the prisoners with its cold red eyes. It readied its chest mounted las-cannon
"terminate. terminate"
a voice behind it called "to be or not to be, let me answer that question for you"
Shakespeare pulled the trigger of his mk2 RPG
BOOOOOOOM
"Exit, stage left" he said, blowing on the smoking barrel
