Dashiell Hamlett: The Blue Dane Meets the Black Bird, by Tony Pisculli

Description: How would Hamlet fare if recast as a man of action in a film noir and hired to solve his father's murder? 

Author Statement: I originally wrote this as a one-act play as an exercise in deconstructing Hamlet for a directing class and revived it while trying to learn Ink. This plays more like a story on rails than game. There are no wrong choices, and the end is inevitable. (Note: violence, innuendo and optional profanity.)

System: Ink
