Hamlet didn't have Yorick waking up and tagging along after him half an hour after the little graveside, er, tete a tete. Or Ophelia, although I wonder if Ophelia would share Dorcas' hydrophobia. I would love to see a spoof of Hamlet, starring Severian. Now that is a holiday pantomime begging to be written. Maybe if I can ever sneak some time away from the children - have one nursing barnacle, one toddler with full blown autism, which makes long chunks of time for writing a slight bit problematic. Of course I'd probably have to also include elements of Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and Titus Andronicus. Hmm.
