Present Shame and Further Woe is a movement/music performance for the bagpipes, grappling with South Asian Anglophilian nostalgia for the former British Empire, its traditions and subcultures – most notably those concerning William Shakespeare, (See Also: Macbeth, Muhammad Ali Jinnah), and other offenses like the English spelling of theatre rather than theater. Revive, look up, and bear this work of heaven with patience.
