Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein
2.0
made sense until Polonius died. After that, it just felt forced. I'm sick of people trying to turn Shakespeare's tragic female characters into these ultra feminist roles. Don't get me wrong, I think there's room for that. Make Hamlet a woman. Gender swap Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. (By the way, productions that do things like that are genius!) But I don't really see the Ophelias and Juliets as being these characters that are meant for this kind of thing.
Also, Horatio/Ophelia endgame was confusing and didn't match his character.
My million dollar idea: Hamlet from the POV of Polonius.
