Masterpiece Theatre Presents: Dead Kitty Classical Vignettes, by popular demand

And another magnificent performance by Serendipity,
this time of the drowning of Ophelia as described by
Queen Gertrude in Hamlet, Act 4, Scene VII:

Her clothes spread wide; And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element: but long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.

The Bard would have wept unashamedly at this evocative
postmodern interpretation of his finest drama. Though
clearly indebted to the work of the late genius Heiner Müller
(Die Hamletmaschine),the tragedienne Serendipity
imbued her performance with unconventional methodology
and won both the hearts and accolades of the judges.
The Cannes critics' panel awarded her 4.97 out of 5 stars.
