Hamlet m Strange Places 131 Notes
.
See Mahmoud F. A1-Shetawi, "Hamlet in Arabic," Hamlet
Studies, 22 (2000), 87-88.
The King is billed as "Edmund Kean, the elder, of the Royal
Haymarket Theatre," and the Duke as "David Garrick, the
younger, of Drury Lane Theatre."
The Duke's stance and rendering, it seems to me, are a deliberate
parody of Hamlet's advice to the Players: the Duke tears the
passion to "tatters," splits "the ears of the groundlings," in short,
struts and bellows, and imitates "humanity abominably" (Hamlet,
III. ii. 10-35).
