...handing the contents up to Jose Antonio de Mello, assistant director of the Sao Paulo police forensic team. There emerged some dentures and a few earth-stained bones, some still covered by a pair of rotting trousers.

Dalton's innovation, give its about fifteen minutes of chuckles, but for three-and-a-quarter they sap Hamlet of its lasting place in our, collective consciousness. Skip this production, read the original with your roommates, look for the upcoming video...
