       The Muppets should be in the public domain so anybody can use them, reinterpret their stories and adapt them to new ones. Like Shakespeare.

       @kev I think Hamlet is fucken, like, Timothée Chalamet or something.

       @benhamill I thought about that! He's got the right vibes certainly.

       @kev Yeah. I think he doesn't take himself too seriously, but can play it self-serious against a puppet when the scene calls for it.

       @kevFor me, Hamlet's youth and immaturity is important subtext. He's a sullen teenager. With a sword and way too much latitude. So it always feels wrong to me when they have a full grown man playing him.@benhamill

       @TerryHancock @benhamill I respect that, and I do think it’s an important part of the characterization, but I’ve seen so many Old Hamlets (many of them good!) that I’ve kind of made peace with it. Plus the text puts him at closer to 30 (based ont eh gravedigger scene)

       @kev @TerryHancock I'm pretty sure Chalamet is 12, so… 😜
