Okay, I'm officially over the whole "let's perform the scenes of #Hamlet in a random order" thing now. It was always a questionable fad, but it's been going on for 20 years now and it's probably time to put a bullet in it.

Okay Justin, fine. But only if you suggest an alternative way for us to demonstrate both our edgy postmodernity and our knowledge of the classics without having to innovate in new and difficult ways

We need more productions where the Ghost never appears while "artistically" cutting the scenes where other people see him, thus asserting that Hamlet is mad. Leave 1.2 with Horatio telling Hamlet he saw the Ghost, though, because they all do that AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.

But if you do it, I want you to fucking own it and cut all the Ghost's lines entirely. No pansying out with voice overs. Just Hamlet onstage talking to himself. Ooooh! Have Hamlet do the Ghost's lines while imitating his father. Or hold his father's portrait up like a puppet.
