Hamlet

SO Hamlet is with his two friends and they are going to see a play. The play calls them "players" and it shows they're the actors and he wants to hear a scene about the great fall of Troy and it's beloved king Priam. The player does such a great job, except Polonius doesn't think so he thinks it's too long, Hamlet wants them to do the whole play the following night. Hamlet, who is playing mad, has hatches a scheme that in the play they will play out the scene that happened between the Father and the uncle. Hamlet thinks if the current king sees it he'll feel guilty and Hamlet will finally have the evidence he needs that the Uncle killed his Father. He puts extra lines in the play for the actor to read during the performance. Then he has a very long soliloquy explaining all of this. :-)
