Description The framing device for the play sees an actor return to his pokey home having just performed as Hamlet and it is his suicidal disintegration that unleashes Shakespeare's vital figures, with his mind running in Hamletian circles, full of doubt and self-talking, while banalities of modern life are also included, such as answer phone messages and the simple frying up of an egg sandwich.
