GERTRUDE TALKS BACK BRUDDAS.

I think this is excellent! I enjoy the fact that Gertrude is witty, (something she doesn't seem to be in Shakespeare's version) and in a way, coming down to Hamlet's level of maturity. She almost pokes fun at him, 'judging from your student slum pigpen at Wittenberg'. My favourite bit has to be, 'I wish you wouldn't call your stepdad the bloat king. He does have a slight weight-problem, and it hurts his feelings'. Absolutely comedy gold. So yes, I very much like this rendition of good ol' Gertrude having her say, it's about time a woman had a chance to fight back in one of these Shakesperian plays! Excellently done.
