Show notes

Hamlet 5.1 – Finally, Hamlet's back in the play, and there are clowns in the graveyard! It doesn't make Ophelia's funeral any more festive though.

Nice email from Tracy, expressing her ideas on "To be, or not to be", and offering a counter point to mine- always room for more.

37 Ladies of Hamlet Sep 20, 2010

Show notes

Hamlet special - Guest actor, Kymberly Tuttle, and I speak about the women of Hamlet, Shakespeare, and somehow end up with a little Brecht in the mix. It's difficult to keep on topic with so many ways to play it!

Show notes

Hamlet 4.6 - 4.7 – Horatio gets a letter from Hamlet, and oh joy, he's back in town. Claudius gets a similar letter, but isn't so happy; time to come up with a plan to kill the little @#$% before it's too late! And oh, poor Laertes, I'm afraid we have some bad news…

Three recommendations this episode:

Forgotten Classics– Julie talks about Chop Bard in Episode 132: The Riddle of the Sands, chapter 27 She has some very nice things to say about Chop bard. Listen to her, she knows what she's talking about!
CraftLit – A Podcast for Crafters Who Love Books. You're in good hands with host Heather, as she'll lead you through these dangerous books- you'll be the better for it.
The Complete Arkangel Shakespeare – Julie mentioned she was inspired by Chop Bard to listen to Hamlet in this audio series. I've heard of these, but never listened. I've order one, and can't wait to try it out.

Hamlet 4.5 – Ophelia goes crazy, (she has her reasons), we're besieged with some really long sentences, and Laertes comes home looking for revenge! It's all Hamlet's fault (except for the sentences)… but he's out of town right now.

Hamlet 4.4 – En Route to England, our escorted prince runs into Fortinbras and his army, inspiring him to perform one final soliloquy… we are promised bloody thoughts. Hurray!

Hamlet 4.1-3 - Hamlet's hidden the body, and good luck getting a straight answer out of him! Where is it? Sponge… Where? Worms… Where's Polonius? Guts... Time to go to England. Mother…

32 Hamlet... in the closet... with the rapier... Jul 23, 2010

Show notes

Hamlet 3.4 – Hamlet finally confronts his mother, we lose the foolish old man, and Freud's evil influence returns, attempting to turn everyone into an hysteric.

31 This hent isn't horrid enough Jul 08, 2010

Show notes

Hamlet 3.3 – Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are getting ready for a trip, Claudius holds a private little pity party, and on route to see his mother, Hamlet crosses over to the dark side.

30 What's it all about, Hamlet? Jun 19, 2010

Show notes

Hamlet 3.2 – The play's the thing wherein Shakespeare can hide the "C" word. It's opening night in Elsinore, and while his Mousetrap may not win a Tony, he will at least get a Claudius.

29 What's the rub got to do with it? Jun 04, 2010

Show notes

Hamlet 3.1 – "To be or not to be", and "get thee to a nunnery". What else is there to say? Hamlet has a tough choice to make, a difficult encounter to navigate and- oh yeah, a play to edit.
