The Play’s the thing.  Fusing three existing versions, Tyler Moss and the Shakespeare Forum have created a unique production of Hamlet.  In the latest interview from The State of Shakespeare, Tyler performs the “I have lost all my mirth” speech from Act II, Scene ii of Hamlet.  Tyler talks about the Bad Quarto, prose v. verse, making choices based on personal response to the text and using the audience.  And we introduce a new segment that will be sure to entice our most ardent Bardologists.  Have a go!
