it's only partly light-hearted though. it's dark underneath.

i don't want to make it au--i mean i don't want to change what actually happens in the play. and at the end of the play, you see the scene from the end of hamlet play out. so that means hamlet has to make it there, and they have to not kill the player with that attempt.

but i think you might mis-estimate the times. i mean, think when it was set. it was NOT actually set in shakespearean times, although since the movie canon puts it there, we can do it that way. i mean, they arrive in england, and THEN kill the players, perhaps? there wouldn't be a big manhunt. they didn't have much in the way of police or prison. it wouldn't be so hard to avoid getting caught.

and it's, i think, important that they commit murder more than once.

not necessarily that they're serial killers, with, like, must kill five people whose names start with 'h' this month; just that it's recurring, they're mad, they fall deeeeeeper... but it's perverse and it's not a sad ending, and they're able to stop killing, maybe, when they get free and go away.

EPIC.
