SCENE 1, ACT 1

                                   (Elsinore at midnight.  FRANCISCO, a
                                   guard, is about to go off-duty.
                                   BARNARDO approaches from the dark.)

                                   FRANCISCO
            Who's that?



                                   BARNARDO
            Long live the king.

                                   FRANCISCO
            Barnardo--I'm glad you're on time.

                                   BARNARDO
            Twelve o'clock, straight up.  Anything unusual tonight?

                                   FRANCISCO
            Nothing, not even a mouse.  Just the cold, the last couple
            hours have been brutal.

                                   BARNARDO
            Well, you're finished now.  Get yourself into a warm bed and
            sleep, and if you see Horatio and Marcellus, tell them to--

                                   FRANCISCO
            I think I hear them.

                                   (HORATIO and MARCELLUS enter.)

                                   HORATIO & MARCELLUS
            Long live the king.

                                   BARNARDO & FRANCISCO
            Long live the king.

                                   HORATIO
                          (to Francisco)
            How did your watch go?

                                   FRANCISCO
            Quiet and cold.  Have a good night.

                                   (Francisco exits.)

                                   HORATIO
                          (to Barnardo, about Francisco)
            So then he didn't see it?

                                   MARCELLUS
                          (to Barnardo, about Horatio)
            He insists it's just our imaginations.

Wolfie

Hamlet feigns madness.

We must face the spectre, though we dread to look upon one who has

tossed off this mortal coil.

What shall we see? Is it telling us to act as a madman in order to restore

honor and respectability to our realm?

It may cause the death of a Polonius, and his fair daughter, Ophelia,

among many. Yet to ever see the sun over far yon high eastern hill

it will require the girding of our spirits and our marshalling our wits.

The incestuous marraige of government and corporations is breeding

monstrous litters of Blackwaters, General Electrics, and Exxon-mobils.

We must put on the play that will capture the conscience of the king.

Murder so foul! Of our land and freedoms that we Princes were heir to

have become fouled by the putrid mists of these shandras!

 

Wolfie does dare to bring some unpolluted air to this rotting corpse

of a nation. Woof if you agree.
