Hamlet Performance Response

I thought that the most interesting aspect of the performance at the tank was the idea of having to separate scenes being shown at once. The effect is commonly used in music, with multiple melodies being played at once, but rarely with spoken word. It was hard for me to follow, but perhaps it would work better if the scenes were coordinated so that the dialogue overlapped less. I think there are interesting possibilities for using this effect. For example, a play could be written in which two groups of actors start out performing the same scene, but due to a minor difference in the actions of one of the characters, the scripts would gradually diverge, and the audience would be able to see how the characters react to different situations. Sort of like a play based around chaos theory.
