Narrator: Hey. My name is King Hamlet (writes name on board, draws crown). I am dead
(crosses name out). I was killed by my brother, Claudius (writes name), who is now married to
my wife Gertrude (writes name, draws heart). I have a son, Prince Hamlet (writes name) who is
an angsty teen (draws sad face). We also have Ophelia (writes name). She likes Hamlet but
Hamlet doesn’t like her. He doesn’t really like anyone. Now, let’s get into the story.
Scene 1 - Hamlet enters, circles name on board to indicate who he is. The narrator turns the
lights off during the Ghostbusters theme and when the lights come back on the Narrator
assumes the role of the Ghost.
The ghostbusters theme comes back to assume the ghost resumes his position to narrator.
Narrator: Hamlet gets upset and takes it out on Ophelia, oh enter Ophelia (Ophelia enters and
circles her name). Hamlet freaks out on Ophelia because he’s angsty and calls her a word that
rhymes with bore.
Hamlet: Get thee to a nunnery!
Narrator: Ophelia doesn’t take this too well.
Ophelia: O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, scholar's, soldier's, eye, tongue, sword,
Th' expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
Th' observ'd of all observers- quite, quite down!
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That suck'd the honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh;
That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy. O, woe is me
T' have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
(Ophelia storms off)
Narrator: (to Hamlet) Girls, am I right?
(Hamlet storms off)
Narrator: (to audience) Guys, am I right?
(Hamlet enters)
Narrator: Hamlet being upset like he always is, decides to storm off and complain some more,
but sees Uncle Claudius praying (pull-up Claudius face). Hamlet decides whether or not to kill
him.
(Hamlet exits)
Narrator: Not much happens for a while except for Ophelia, remember her, she drowns (splash
SFX). No one knows why, but she’s dead now and Gertrude recounts it.
Narrator: Now the ending gets a bit confusing. With a series of misplaced poisonings. Claudius’
initial plot to poison Hamlet goes wrong and Gertrude dies (cross Gertrude’s name off, Gertrude
falls to the floor). Through more accidental poisonings, Hamlet kills Cladius (cross off name,
close computer), and Hamlet gets poisoned (cross of name, drop dead). And now, everyone is
dead...more or less...the end.
