Hamlet promo (not all that related to Hamlet)
Okay, so you know how I have a couple of bit parts in that play called Hamlet?
There is going to be a thingy on Public Access TV promoting the show, and they did interviews with all of us in character. Here’s a clip of me as a gravedigger (this was before we had costumes; I do not ordinarily dig graves in that pretty necklace Denny gave me) along with an actor playing my brother/fellow gravedigger. It’s pretty much just 2 minutes of me spouting off and the guy next to me chiming in very occasionally. He’s more of the strong silent type.
Just as a teaser: the sex life of worms does come up.
See it here.
There are more videos of other cast members; you can see them if you search YouTube for Hamlet Iowa City. There’s an interview just with me, but for some reason my voice cuts out halfway through it, and all you can hear is the background music. You do get to see the wide variety of facial expressions I make in any given conversation, though. This is why I am bad at poker.
Maybe it’s in line with “break a leg”, but “Another One Bites the Dust” as background music for a play promo?
Ah, that’s because the director has chosen to incorporate music by Queen throughout the play. The gravediggers get “Another One Bites the Dust,” appropriately enough.
