#hamlet posting

The tea:

The actor who played Hamlet also played the ghost

3 actors performed the entirety of the play

Yes all of it, including the play in the play

(It did bring a new dimension to freud's interpretation mind you)

Hamlet tells the audience not to give away his secret about his 'madness'

There was no Horatio :(

The audience was Horatio :)

2 out of the 3 actors were actually a father/son duo

The father was in his 50s and the son in his 20s

Hamlet killing Polonius and fighting with Claudius? Hit way harder knowing it was an actual father/son duo

Hamlet and Gertrude were in the audience watching the actors rehearse the play

The play was ONLY 1 hour and 25 minutes??

Hamlet has a megaphone that he uses to direct the actors

Which was one of the only props

The other was a blue blazer, used to differentiate when an actor would play 2 characters at once or switch between characters

Hamlet accidentally sets of the megaphone siren

It was fully in Dutch, which did work

Old people are addicted to their phone, it was insane!

Hamlet got to have his menty B moments, as Audience!Horatio you wanted to take him away from Denmark and burrito him

Hamlet's actor says dad to his actual dad, who is a well know Dutch theater actor, in the scene where he plays one of the actors, then continuous by calling 'his' other works rubbish, with a bit to much glee

The end scenes of the play were stationary, delivered by the son actor, who played ALL the parts, almost played as a narration

For every death he would hold a hand off a cast mate, 1 hand of the female actress when the queen died, one hand of his (actual!) dad when Laertes died and his dad's other hand when Claudius dies

It ended on "The rest is silence" while they were all holding hands
