I feel like Horatio was maybe a little overly casual about what happened to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

UM which ones are those guys??? I don't know who was who I just know a lot of people DIED?!?

Horatio was suspiciously chill about everyone but Hamlet.

The guys who didn't even get to die on stage. Which is honestly rude when three-fifths of that play is just protracted death scenes.

People seem to die on a daily basis in Shakespearean Denmark. He must have grown a thick skin to deal with it all.

Maybe he was the murderer all along.

Horatio was just trying to get his boyfriend on the throne where he belongs.

They'd probably do a bit better if they stopped putting poison on everything.

Oh okay, but like, if you don't ACTUALLY see them die, then how do you KNOW they're DEAD??? Like they could've TOTALLY faked their own deaths??? Maybe they realized like EVERYONE was dying so they faked their deaths so they could go off and be VAMPIRE HUNTERS instead??? At least, that's what I would do.

It's certainly a lead worth investigating.

Danish cuisine at its finest.

The probably wrote the letter to Horatio themselves.

"Dear Horatio,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are super dead, they certainly didn't run off to be vampire hunters and/or get married. Please never look for them.
Sincerely,
Joesencrantz and Billdenstern"

In Denmark, a cheese danish is just called a cheese and is also made with hebenon instead of cream cheese.

It’s almost sweet

He thought he could cover by just not being onstage. Imagine.

Do you buy the boyfriend theory or do you think he's just a bloodthirsty killer?

Man Joesencrantz and Billdenstern never write unless it's bad news.

Don't forget to put some in your ears, or it's considered quite rude.

How fortunate they sent him to watch after Hamlet's "girlfriend."

married vampire hunters joesencrantz and billdenstern sound like a good time. i'd watch that play.

A scene in which they read about some vague tragedy befalling the Danish royal family comes back to literally bite them in the end when they have to fight the fanged Laertes, now inexplicably sporting a leather jacket and greased down hair.

Denmark is a cultural minefield.

okay, i was joking before? but i am actually really down for hamlet 2: now there's vampires. especially if the vampires are inexplicably greasers.

There's no other kind when you're in a Shakespeare play.

I hope we've just inspired the spring production.

or we can just improv workshop it.

Who knows, maybe someone wrote Ophelia a really nice thank you note for all those flowers she was handing out. Unfortunately, they procrastinated and she was already halfway up that willow tree by the time it was in a courier's hands. Alas, should have done it anon.
