I've been a man of the theater for over a century, old enough to have played Hamlet, and Richard, any number of Henries, and Lear before my first rejuvenation, and in my own flesh and on the stage, not as an avatar, licensed or otherwise. You remember the theater, don't you?
Of course you don't. There hasn't been a play produced in what, a quarter of a century. The characters must be played by live actors, not software emulations the dead greats of yesteryear who never played the parts themselves, and certainly not by one of myself.
