-In our version of a portion of Act I, scene ii, Alexander, Alan, and I decided to base our performance choices off of Laurence Olivier's adaptation. I played the king, and really tried to show the seperation between Claudius and Hamlet + Gertrude. I was on one side of the stage, and Hamlet (Alan) + Gertrude (Alexander) were very close to each other on the opposite side of the stage. I also tried to spotlight the fact that Claudius gets a little jealous and annoyed that Hamlet and Gertrude are being so intamite. I even attempted to pull away Gertrude. Overall, I played Claudius as a very seperated character from what was going on between Hamlet and Gertrude.
