Synopsis
"TheatreSports Hamlet incorporated the traditional story of Hamlet, with enough of the original dialogue to set-up the competition. Two teams garnered from Shakespeare's story: Cladius' Team vs Hamlet's Team fought to win the best soliloquy, the best love scene, best scene with a family member, and manner of murder scene. Incorporated singing, and improvised music, the show was created with the Shakespearean scenes rehearsed in a straightforward manner... then they experimented with every possible improvisational wrinkle" (qtd. from 1 Nov. 2003. http://www.vtsl.com/hits/hits1.htm).
