When the Zous decided to put on a play, I was all for it. And Hamlet is a favorite, so I was really happy that Zoupi had selected it. But I had no idea what a huge production it would become. Costumes, set, endless rehearsals.
The real work started when we decided to put it on the web. There were many options for presenting it—Flash, video with subtitles or dubs, stop-motion animation, still photography, and animated gifs. I tried and abandoned at least half the options before settling on a simple still gallery.
Even that took hours of work to get finished; the photography was spotty and everything had to be double checked for continuity. The Zous were very impatient and I was sorry that it took so long. But as of today, you can enjoy Hamlet, Act II scene 2 as presented by The Zous.

Posted by: kristen on July 1, 2003 03:26 PMZoupi is a very believable Hamlet. I like his prop book! Your sense of whimsy delights me.

Those are Dad’s glass masks that the players are sporting, no? Love the costumes.
