SHAKESPEARE TURNS BATTY - AMENDS FAMOUS HAMLET SCENE

The Bard  has decided to change his famous soliloquoy about  the slings and arrows  of outrageous  fortune  to  include  the  danger  of  falling  mangoes  dropped  by screeching  fruit bats . This  is  due  to  the  fact that  during open air  performances   of   Romeo and  Juliet  in  Queen's Gardens , Townsville ,  marauding  fruit  bats  have   lobbed  a  few   mangoes  on  culture   vultures  from   nearby, well laden  trees, one  in  the  centre of  the  photo.  It  would  be  an  unexpected  and  dramatic  ending  if  Juliet  is   knocked out by a  mushy  mango and  carted off  to Townsville  General  Hospital  for  mouth  to  mouth  resuscitation  by  Romeo .
