Just before this there has been a play that the players, a group of actors have come to
the court, to my palace and they have put on a play and Hamlet has told then to put
a particular kind of story line into the play which illustrates how my brother, old Hamlet
was killed.
This is the first time that Claudius admits to what he has done and the first the audience
actually.
That's a good point because you always think Claudius is like this bad guy from the beginning
and is the evil, the villain of the piece but actually what's more interesting to play
is that he's quite a good politician and actually could be quite a good stepfather to Hamlet.
Who you speak to I think that's quite crucial because the filmmaker for me I've always thought,
well we tend not to speak to yourself, unless you're going mad mm-hmm so, within the soliloquy
absolutely who am I speaking to, do I speak to the gods, I try, I know it's, I try not
to have this conversation with myself because it doesn't seem to be very active as you said
Yeah It's not moving the idea forward and the audience,
Shakespeare has written this construct, written this device where he uses the audience as
a sounding board, it's kind of like myself, but they are there, they become three dimensional.
Yeah. One way you could ask the questions
