Replace Ophelia with Lady Macbeth and suddenly Hamlet becomes a much shorter play

Hamlet: To be or not to be –
LM: so have you killed your uncle yet
Hamlet: What? No, I’m suffering through a complex moral dilemma and grappling with my own mortality right now.
LM: Oh, right.
Hamlet: Whether tis nobler in the mind –
LM: because you know if you kill him, you’ll become king
Hamlet: What?
LM: and I’ll become queen
Hamlet: Wait, where are you going with that knife?
LM: brb

Woo!

Weeeeeeeeeyay. Arranged to go re-watch the NT production of Man of Mode (with Tom Hardy, Rory Kinnear & Hayley Atwell in) at the NT Archive on Thursday – I got to go and see the actual production when it was on before, but want to see it again.

Then in the evening going to see Macbeth with James McAvoy in the title role.

Win! Then Friday is going to be all about the half-price chocolate :D:D:D:D:D
