my Lord?"

"That if you're honest

and fair your"...

"That if you're honest

and fair your honesty"...

This is crap.

All right,

great job, guys.

(Bell ringing)

I'll be putting a callback list

on the notice board

In the English block

tomorrow.

This will be for the roles

of Hamlet,

Gertrude,

Claudius and Ophelia.

If you don't see your name

on this list,

It does not mean

that you won't be in the play.

Also, rehearsals

will start next week,

So be sure

to let me know

If you won't be able

to make them.

Your book.

What did you think?

It's all right.

I hated Shakespeare

until I read Hamlet.

I was drawn

to his darkness.

He's just messed up

like the rest of us.

My Uncle played

Horatio once.

He always wanted

to play Hamlet.

Reckons he was

the deadliest character

written by a white fella.

So what's stopping him?

He's dead.

O, that this too,

too solid flesh would melt.

Thaw and resolve itself

into a dew.

Or that the everlasting

had not fixed

His canon 'gainst

self-slaughter.

Found out where that

Griffen's livin', the dog.

Where?

Over the eastern

suburbs there.

Reckon he got himself

a nice deal with them coppers.

What's doin', boys?

There's talk

of another riot, eh.

Rocco's still in a coma.

Liam!

Got a smoke?

You coming to class

this afternoon, or what?

You're not worried

what they'll think, are ya?

I didn't peg you

to be like that.

I'm not.

I read an article

about your uncle.

He was part of

the Black Theater, right?

Must have been

an amazing time.

He was deadly.

He went to America too.

Got a scholarship

at an acting school

where Robert de Niro went.

I really think you should

come this afternoon.

I dare you.

"I say we will have

no more marriages."

Those that are married already

all but one shall live.

The rest shall keep

as they are.

"To a nunnery, go."

CHALMERS:

Thank you, Matthew, Willie.

All right,

last up for today.

Liam?

Do you need a minute

to look over your script?

No, it's okay.

"To be or not to be:"

That is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind

to suffer the slings

And arrows

of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms

against a sea of troubles

And by opposing end them?

To die.

To sleep.

No more:
and by a sleep

to say we end the heartache

And the thousand natural shocks

that flesh is here to...

The heartache and the thousand

natural shocks

"That flesh

is heir to tes..."

F***.

What's he feeling, Liam?

What's he feeling?

Confused.

He wants to get away.

CHALMERS:
Away from what?

Everything.

Everyone.

He's sad.

Show me that.

Show me that sadness.

"To die..."

Or to sleep.

To sleep, perchance to dream,

For in that sleep of death
