"Happy no-longer-January, people," Daisy was looking more awake for this class than usual. "I thought today we could take a look at what happens when you get multiple versions of the same written work. And what better way to do that than to take what is considered to be one of the greatest works in English literature: Amleth."

For those options that involve discussion. Like your own version of the play, or new formats for the play, or who was a better Amleth, what worked with what version, etc.

"Dude, you can't beat King of the Lions, man. Animated fun, music, and still gets in the basics. And wouldn't Amleth have been way cooler with ten dozen hyenas at Feng's command?"

"Ugh, I never liked the animated version," Hamlet said. Especially after that weekend where he'd somehow become a lion cub. "The mun I do rather like the Kenneth Branagh film version. He always has interesting takes on the original stories."
