The Gravedigger's Lament uses Shakespeare's Hamlet as the focal point, and takes a comical look at what a difference editing might make on the interpretation of character. Using numerous versions of the text, including the 'bad quarto', Peter Quince and his actors try to prove themselves before the Duke, but too many Hamlets can spoil the broth!

The play, for five actors, runs approximately 45 minutes.
