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.

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.
Yeah! Let's go big and move the grave digger scene while cutting all the lines that provide context so it seems like Hamlet is Norman Batesing dad's skull. Naturally everyone will wear suits. Bad ones.
