Our groups idea for the Hamlet final project is to make a Hamlet version of the show "Whose Line is it Anyway?" The idea is to tell the story of hamlet through comedy and good times. For those who don't know, Whose line is an improvisational comedy show that uses many different games that the cast makes up lines on the spot. The games include scenes from a hat, three headed broadway stars, weird newscasters and many many more.
All of these games can be tweaked towards the themes of hamlet. However, it wont be as serious as the play itself. It will be funny, and do to the fact that it will make people laugh, it will get the younger generation to be more willing to learn about Hamlet. Comedy has always a way to lighten the mood, and grab peoples attention. By grabbing peoples attention, we can teach them more. This will also help me learn Hamlet and understand the language of Hamlet better then I was able to do before.
