true. However, please, let them make as many Hamlet spin offs as possible. R&G Are Dead is just the tip of the iceberg as far as bringing the minor characters to the foreground. I want to know how Gertrude was able to, in a high stress situation, recount in such detail the events leading to Ophelia’s death…seems a little suspicious to me…From one geek to another, thanks for being a fellow in the lonely life of Hamlet obsession XD

“Nevertheless, this may be the first time ever that an actor playing Hamlet doesn’t have the juiciest role in the production.”
Have you never seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead?
Funny. Film and stage productions. Hamlet is the lesser role.

Sounds like it could be interesting (definitely enough material to work with Ophelia’s perspective). However, hate to be a nitpicker, but R&G are Dead already covered the base of “an actor playing Hamlet doesn’t have the juiciest role in the production.” Yes, I’m a geek.
