Homer falls asleep at a school play directed by Lisa and based on Shakespeare.
Homer dreams of distorted versions of his works.
From “Antony and Cleopatra”: the Queen of Egypt dies of poisoning because Antony forgot to remove the poison from the asp he gave her.
From “Julius Caesar”: The attackers end up killing each other, because Caesar (Burns) is too thin to be shot.
From “Romeo and Juliet”: Juliet (Lisa) fakes her death to escape an arranged marriage, but Romeo dumps her when he sees her body.
From “Richard III” and “King Lear”: Richard (Krusty) is fired from the theater and replaced by Lear (Homer).
