The Hamlet Project

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Horatio played
As the foreigner he seems to be.
He has no idea what the customs of this land are.
He has different sets of niceties, it seems. He gets to
Ask questions about the rules of this world
That no one else does.
Is this why Hamlet trusts him more than any one else?
He’s an outsider. He has no vested interest in the king
Or his rules. He’s just there to see the Danish sites
And maybe as a bonus, he gets to hang out
With the Prince.
I want to see a Horatio who messes up the Danish formalities,
Who looks radically different from the court he’s a guest of.
Maybe with a camera to take pictures of the Danish sites?
