In a strange turn of events, last Saturday’s much anticipated 24 hour play was reportedly nearly identical in plot, script, to one of the bard’s most famous plays.
“At first I was super excited to see a play created and put on in 24 hours, it seems like such a sick idea. They started with some ghost under the stage thing, which was cool,” said sophomore Jared Lenphy, “but then the main character, who I’m pretty sure was named ‘Hamfeld’, started yelling at his mom for marrying his uncle, and that’s when it all fell into place.”
“It was basically just Hamlet note for note,” Lenphy reported. "Hamfeld’s vengeful bloodlust for his uncle/stepfather leads to the deaths of nearly every character, including the drowning of Hamfeld’s dearly beloved ‘Opheliana’? I mean come on. Hamfeld did a soliloquy. I’m pretty sure he even said Yorick. It’s almost more impressive that they put on Hamlet from memory, to be honest.”
At press time, a student band played an original song that sounded eerily identical to “Someday” by The Strokes.
