Play with music.

A satiric pantomime-style piece of music theatre, based on Shakespeare's Hamlet, in which 'the rottenness in the state of Denmark turns out to be a rampant permissiveness which has led to a complete breakdown in sexual identity. Hamlet has fallen for his best friend Horatio. In the grips of this unnatural passion he has gone to Wittenburg where Dr Yorik has carried out a successful sex-change operation' (Brian Hoad 1971, p37).

The authors suggest that community singing from the audience is to be encouraged whenever possible.
