Project Overview
***MASSIVE DISCLAIMER***
Due to the nature of the production a vr headset capable of accessing VRchat is required except for the stage production role.
William Shakespeare was innumerably influential in our society due in no small part to his beautifully written and superbly performed plays. As one of his longest plays, Hamlet has been performed countless times and is said to be the most filmed story since cinderella. Hamlet has been performed in countless theatre large and small, from Broadway to your local high school and now it comes to VRChat with one of the first virtual reality performances f this Iconic play.
The play will be performed in VRchat and will be live streamed Three times (TBA) and the best of the three as voted by cast and crew will be uploaded to Channel 413: Weird Tales TV ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpFjPrEIslhzxW2rX5RFAfQ ) for further questions please message me on casting call club!

The Ghost of Hamlet's Father
I am thy father's spirit,
Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,...Do not forget. This visitation
Is but to whet thy almost blunted purpose....Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,
With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts-...
Prince of Denmark, son of the late King Hamlet and Queen Gertrude
Sir, my good friend- I'll change that name with you.
And what make you from Wittenberg, Horatio?...Never to speak of this that you have seen.
Swear by my sword.Then is doomsday near! But your news is not true. Let me
question more in particular. What have you, my good friends,...
widow of King Hamlet, now married to Claudius KING CLAUDIUS, brother to the late King Hamlet
I'll warrant you; fear me not. Withdraw; I hear him coming.To draw apart the body he hath kill'd;
O'er whom his very madness, like some ore...How cheerfully on the false trail they cry!
O, this is counter, you false Danish dogs!
brother to the late King Hamlet
It shall be so.
Madness in great ones must not unwatch'd go. Exeunt.I have nothing with this answer, Hamlet. These words are not
mine.
I like him not, nor stands it safe with us
To let his madness range. Therefore prepare you;...
Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius, the sister of Laertes, and up until the beginning of the play’s events, she has also been romantically involved with Hamlet.
My honour'd lord, you know right well you did,
And with them words of so sweet breath compos'd...O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, scholar's, soldier's, eye, tongue, sword,...You are naught, you are naught! I'll mark the play.
Pro. For us, and for our tragedy,...
Ophelia's Brother.
I am lost in it, my lord. But let him come!
It warms the very sickness in my heart...I know him well. He is the broach indeed
And gem of all the nation.Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia,
And therefore I forbid my tears; but yet...
father of Ophelia and Laertes, councilor to King Claudius
'And in part him, but,' you may say, 'not well.
But if't be he I mean, he's very wild...Ay, or drinking, fencing, swearing, quarrelling,
Drabbing. You may go so far.And then, sir, does 'a this- 'a does- What was I about to say?
By the mass, I was about to say something! Where did I leave?
Servent to Polonius.
My lord, I have.
At 'closes in the consequence,' at 'friend or so,' and
gentleman.'Ay My lord.
Hamlet's Friend and Confidant
Most like. It harrows me with fear and wonder.What art thou that usurp'st this time of night
Together with that fair and warlike form...Indeed? I heard it not. It then draws near the season
Wherein the spirit held his wont to walk....
Various characters that fill out a variety of roles through the play.
For this relief much thanks. ’Tis bitter cold, And I am sick at heart.
O farewell, honest soldier. Who hath relieved you?
What have you done, my lord, with the dead body?
***This doesn't require a headset but does require the desktop version of VRChat.***
So the map has built in video cameras and camera switching functions, as well as various lights that will be used extensively, and even a projection screen! I'll need someone or even two people running things during the performances. I would also ask that one of the stage crew be able to livestream the performance.
Say something you think would fit
While making every avatar w use would be too much to ask for free, but there might be two or three roles we can't find suitable avatars for and we could really use the help!
