Ooh - nice haul!

*Squints.* Er, is that Onan something-or-other as Hamlet? No, surely not - even if it'd lead to a terrible joke about being surprised at him holding the skull with both hands.

Must be "Chas".

Bit of thesp/art trivia for you there!

Oh, thanks. I hadn't heard of her until I found the photograph. I shall have to look her up.

Hee!

I like the way 'Onan' has his fingers in the skull's eyesockets, bowling ball style.

That sound you can hear?

Shakespeare, doing a 360º rotation in his grave.
