A scene involving two early 17th century London men about town.We will call them Ben and Dan.
Ben; You say you have no business on Friday ,I am also free that day.What say you to a day out in Southwerk to partake of the entertainments there. Dan: What have you in mind ?. Wagering on the bull or bear baiting ? A visit to a bawdy house mayhap ?. Ben: I would fain attend a play. Dan: I have not attended a playhouse for some time but I would be happy to do so .Is there a play you wish to see?. Ben: Yes Hamlet ,it is on at the Globe.Dan; What is it about?. Ben: It is a revenge tragedy .Dan; Are not revenge tragedies ten a penny these days?.The last play I saw was a revenge tragedy of Websters.The title Hamlet seems familiar ,is it not by Tom Kydd?.Ben:There was a play of that name by Kydd but this play is one of Bill Shagspers.Dan: So it is a remake then.
