AMATEUR DRAMATICS

between the acts
the real life
drama occurs

Claudius and Laertes
are as( rumour has it )
"...having it off..."

Hamlet is indeed in love with
his mummy but his mummy
doesn't want to know

Polonius has the hots
for the ghost but
he hasn't a ghost of a chance

Ophelia and Gertrude
have just broken up
Ophelia almost mad with grief

the play's the thing wherein
we catch the private lives of
these living human beings
