It’s been a couple of (VERY HORRIBLY EVENTFUL) weeks, but it’s time to get back to A Stick-Figure Hamlet at last! If you’re just joining us, you can start with the Dramatis Personae and work your way forward.
The Story So Far: The ghost of Hamlet’s dad has told Hamlet that Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius, murdered Hamlet’s dad. Hamlet is very understandably upset by this, and just put on a play reenacting the murder, provoking a reaction from Claudius that proved his guilt. Aaaaand… let’s just take it from there.

Some productions put the intermission here, and I honestly kind of like it.
