To the Folger Library tonight for a play, A ROOM IN THE CASTLE by Lauren Gunderson. It fits into the spaces in HAMLET: Queen Gertrude, Ophelia, and Ophelia's nurse Anna talk about the events of the original play, try to figure out what's wrong with Hamlet, and then how to keep themselves -- especially Ophelia -- safe as matters get increasingly worse.

It's a great play, and I think it'll have a long stage life because it's a wonderful showpiece for three actresses. Like Anne-Marie MacDonald's similar play about Desdemona and Juliet, it tries to rewrite the ending but there's still tragedy as the climax approaches.

(I probably would have gotten a few more references if I'd reviewed the scenes featuring Gertrude and Ophelia from the original play. I remembered the broad strokes of the nunnery scene and the mad scene, the Queen's closet and the drowning scene, but not the specific language.)

Just realized that the #Shakespeare paperbacks from the #FolgerLibrary are in the shape of the #GoldenRatio.

6.75 divided by 4.19 equals 1.611

Very close to 1.618
