For every great tragic hero, there is an equally great, tragic, bit part. Some nights, breaking a leg really is your best option. Okay – Let’s get this out of the way… This is not Hamlet’s story. Hamlet, the young barely post pubescent prince of Denmark. His dear Dad (the old king) is just two month’s dead and now his Mum’s gone and married his dead dad’s brother, aka his uncle, the new King. Hamlet is not greatly impressed.

That’s all that concerns us for now except to say that everybody, including a young virgin, an old fool, a King, a Queen, a Prince, a brother and of course a jester (Alas poor Yorick), is dead by the final whistle. Tragic stuff…

But this, this is NOT Hamlet’s story…
