see there’s one specific reading of hamlet that I need and adore, and am always looking for in any production

when hamlet’s calling the ghost. by the line “I’ll call thee Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane” (usually the “royal dane” part is cut from productions)– I need each title to be said with increasing uncertainty and desparation

## “I’ll call thee Hamlet!”

## “King!”

“…father?”

and when ‘father’ is said with infinite softness.

and 'father’ is said with yearning and longing and grieving.

and hamlet is reaching out to his father, who is standing right in front of him and won’t respond.

Edmund and Hamlet ahhhhh

see they tend to both be guilty of the same stuff. love forging letters that get people killed. love getting into duels that get themselves killed. have messy relationships with those around them. people who are trying to defend them get poisoned. their primary adversaries are blood relatives. they’re both into performing and acting. Enjoy lying and bluffing so much.
