AB  - Discusses dumb shows, including The Murder of Gonzago in Hamlet. Notes that for many dumb shows, the reaction of the characters watching is the central focus as the acting is usually reduplication of previous dialogue and actions. Suggests that the intensity in Hamlet's dumb show comes from the surrounding sounds of movement and that its meaning becomes "inexplicable, but only through the noise of the play."
