A READING FROM "HAMLET"



I'd intended to put up my own reading of Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech, but I had too much wine at dinner and I buggered it up. Let me try again tomorrow morning. I'll put it up during the day on Monday.

I always liked the part where he says "Get thee to a nunnery! Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?"

But then you'd need someone to play Ophelia.

The more hammy you play Hamlet, the better, I say.

Joshua: Haw Haw! I like Mad Magazine's renaming of the film that was taken from: "The Seven Itchy Years."

Arch: I agree with you...the more hammy the better, but that belief had unexpected consequences in "To be or not to be."

You don't realize it til you have a reason to look at the lines closely, but the piece is completely in earnest. There's not a hint of self parody. To my surprise, the photos that worked best were the ones that treated the subject seriously.
