Hamlet Act III


Listen Later

Act III is really good. In fact, we skimmed over it a bit too fast, and I think we're going to have to have an episode about the monologues at some point. The monologues are so important, and have so much content, they certainly justify it.

For more info about how the audience sat on chairs on the stage in Shakespeare's time (and other details about the audience and the stage): http://www.folger.edu/template.cfm?cid=1434 http://www.shakespeare-online.com/essays/shakespeareaudience.html

I asked the director of Hamlet: The Series for a more detailed description of the project, and here it is:

"Hamlet: The Series is an
adaptation of the play into a six-episode web series in the original
language, but with modern dress and an abstract modern
setting.

-Episodes
are divided so that each takes place over about a one-day period, so
that the audience can feel how each scene connects to the next. The
amount of time between episodes however is left uncertain, as in the
play itself.

-The
early and late episodes follow the Quarto act breaks, but the middle
ones do not, because the breaks didn't match up to where I felt the days
began & ended.

-Several roles have been switched male-to-female, both to give it a more modern feel and to point out how some of
the themes still play in the modern world.
The main website is hamletseries.com.
There's also a Hamlet: The Series group on Facebook that people can
"Like". It will be available free on Youtube, for rental or digital
purchase on Amazon Instant Video, and for DVD-purchase on Amazon.  Episodes 1 - 3 should be available by about the time your Podcast goes live, the last three sometime in the Spring of this year."
