Altering the text of Hamlet

Cedric Watts, in the short and interesting introduction he has written to Hamlet, cleverly points out that "Hamlet is delighted to add lines to The Mousetrap to give it topical relevance; and when Polonius objects that the recitation about Pyrruhs is too long, Hamlet immediately replies: "it shall to the barber's with your beard."

–Hamlet, Wordsworth Classics, p. 24

That is exactly what we are going to do with Shakespeare's text in HamletZar: "It shall to the barber's." And we'll add lines in order to give it a "topical relevance;" as Peter Brook has said, to relate it "to our lives."
