Best Performance Choices

When acting out Act 1, Scene 2, my group chose to use Derek Jacobi's version as our inspiration. Anthony and I, who played the King and Queen, chose to stay close together. This position choice separated us from Hamlet (Marcel) and exaggerated his hatred for us. Anthony also had to ask me where Hamlet goes to school, also representing our separation. Marcel's responses towards us were incredibly sarcastic as I showed no sign of care of comfort for my son and just stayed by my husbands side. I feel these performances choices really helped our scene as we reflected a diverse version of Hamlet.
