"Hamlet" production at The Globe infused with Morrissey lyrics

An interesting review of this new production of Hamlet in London:

"And so, it is no surprise — despite the shock-factor the director Sean Holmes was probably aiming for — when this latest staging opens with Ophelia singing Morrissey’s famous heart-breaking “I know it’s over”. It, initially, works very well: a mournful, moping ballad about loneliness and despair — what could be better for Hamlet?"

(Many more Smiths references in the full review...)
 
As per above:

REVIEW: HAMLET, SAM WANAMAKER PLAYHOUSE 4/5*s

Fouracres’s natural Black Country accent and a seeming-devotion to The Smiths - including regular breaks to sing snatches of I Know It's Over and Big Mouth Strikes Again - this Hamlet is sardonic from the outset but full of tenderness too.


FWD.
 
Makes sense.

Lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death. And neither one, particularly appeals to me.

To be or not to be, that is the question.
 
All the world’s a stage, and from it, Morrissey could never be removed.


for true art is eternal.



Viva Moz !!!

Yes, in someways, Morrissey has always been a bit of a Hamlet.

This just posted at Morrissey Central:

AN OPEN LETTER TO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. Will you please stop quoting my lyrics in your plays? It was YOU who played Bottom in 'Midsummer Night's Dream' - not me. Please stop. It is 2022, not 1609.
