I wonder what the "neighbour room" was? Is Hamlet going to arrange Polonius on the privy, apparently attacked by someone who crawled up through it?

Speaking of which, I read a little something this morning (from one of the Uncle John's Bathroom Readers we have sitting around in, er, the bathroom) I wanted to share with you. This is from a list of Bad Musicals:

MUSICAL: Rockabye Hamlet (1976)
TOTAL PERFORMANCES: 7
STORY: Adolescent angst and rebellion are major themes in rock music - and in Shakespeare's Hamlet. So that would make Hamlet the perfect inspiration for a rock musical, right? Wrong. Originally written as a radio play (under the title Kronberg: 1582), Rockabye Hamlet hit Broadway in 1976 with hundreds of flashing lights and an onstage band. Writers followed Shakespeare's storyline but abandoned his dialogue. They opted instead for lines like the one Laertes sings to Polonius: [ed.: I think they have this reversed] "Good son, you return to France/Keep your divinity inside your pants."
NOTABLE SONG: "The Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Boogie."

Speaking of special like the bus.
