Hamlet will be performed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, October 19, 22, and 23. Admission is free and open to the public. To guarantee a seat, telephone (804) 289-8271 between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m., EST, from October 4. For more information, telephone the English Department, (804) 289-8287. Actors touring with the group this fall are Sam Dale (playing Hamlet, Fortinbras, Barnardo), Jonathan Donne (Horatio, Laertes, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern), Miranda Foster (Gertrude, Ophelia), David Howey (Claudius, Ghost, Player King), and William Russell (Polonius, Gravedigger, Osric, Marcellus). All have had extensive experience in British theatre, appearing with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal National Theatre, the Leeds Playhouse, Birmingham Repertory, and others. If you are in the area, the group's bare-bones, actorly performances are very much worth a glance.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 4, No. 611. Thursday, 30 Sept. 1993. From: Nancy W Miller <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Wednesday, 29 Sep 93 10:23:06 EDT Subject: 4.0605 Re: Whores, etc. Comment: Re: SHK 4.0605 Re: Whores, etc. Michael Sharpston certainly has a valid point that whores may very well have been voluble, scolding, etc. as their only line of defense. Margaret Cavendish (yes, noble, but not blind to women's conditions at various social levels) writes in her _CCXI Sociable Letters_ (1664) something to the effect of, "women, having no swords to uphold, use the only weapon available--their tongues." I wonder if the scold's bridle was used among the lowest classes (including whores) in London as readily (it seems) as in other parts of the country. (I'm terribly sorry I'm drawing a blank as to the author of that informative essay on _Shrew_ in a recent issue of _SQ_, "Bridling Scolds and Scolding Brides . . . ." Forgive my faulty memory.)

And you're right: it's quite terrific, from its insinuations of Gertrude's complicity in the murder, to court business conducted while the nightshirted king washes up after royal sex, to direct eye-contact between Hamlet and Claudius in "Now might I do it pat," to the growing and almost insurmountable weariness of the Prince, to a very unsettling final scene in which Horatio tries to tell Hamlet's story to folks who are walking away and ignoring him, already entirely attached to Fortinbras (shades of Lee Blessing's *Fortinbras*). Don't have director and cast in front of me, but I'll put it up later if no one else does.
