epitome of incomprehensibility
|
I'm in an indoor auditorium, watching a Shakespeare play. I think it's Hamlet, which I've never seen in real life. Before a famous soliloquy, Hamlet breaks character, or rather changes character: now he's an actor just beginning to learn Hamlet's part. A screen rolls down and projects the words of his soliloquy, which don't start with "to be or not to be," which are in a compact paragraph rather than rhythmic lines. The character he's just been talking to? He becomes the director of this play-within-a-play. Sternly, he advises the actor to put more emotion in his voice.
