Stoppard, intrigued by these passive, undifferentiated non-characters, tries to reconstruct the drama of Hamlet from their point of view.

The energy unleashed creates showers of short-lived particles that scintillate like tiny sparklers. From the evanescent flashes recorded by the detector, physicists can reconstruct the identities of the particles that produced them...
