Hamlet Act III
b'
\\nAct III is really good. In fact, we skimmed over it a bit too fast, and I think we\'re going to have to have an episode about the monologues at some point. The monologues are so important, and have so much content, they certainly justify it.

\\nI asked the director of Hamlet: The Series for a more detailed description of the project, and here it is:
\\n
\\n"Hamlet: The Series is an \\nadaptation of the play into a six-episode web series in the original \\nlanguage, but with modern dress and an abstract modern\\n setting.

\\n\\n-Episodes\\n are divided so that each takes place over about a one-day period, so \\nthat the audience can feel how each scene connects to the next. The \\namount of time between episodes however is left uncertain, as in the \\nplay itself.
\\n\\n
\\n\\n-The\\n early and late episodes follow the Quarto act breaks, but the middle \\nones do not, because the breaks didn\'t match up to where I felt the days\\n began & ended.
\\n\\n
\\n\\n-Several roles have been switched male-to-female, both to give it a more modern feel and to point out how some of\\n the themes still play in the modern world.

\\n\\nThe main website is hamletseries.com.\\n There\'s also a Hamlet: The Series group on Facebook that people can \\n"Like". It will be available free on Youtube, for rental or digital \\npurchase on Amazon Instant Video, and for DVD-purchase on Amazon. Episodes 1 - 3 should be available by about the time your Podcast goes live, the last three sometime in the Spring of this year."
