Unpaid

A gravedigger that digs Ophelia's grave. He talks with the other gravedigger and is unable to reply to his statements.

I'm looking for a voice that has a comedic edge to it,possibly a higher piched voice.

(Read only the Other Gravedigger's lines)

I ACCEPT EVERY ACCENT.

  • GRAVEDIGGER

    Are they really going to give her a Christian burial after she killed herself?

    OTHER

    I’m telling you, yes. So finish that grave right away. The coroner examined her case and says it should be a Christian funeral.


  • OTHER

    Do you want to know the truth? If this woman hadn’t been rich, she wouldn’t have been given a Christian burial.

    GRAVEDIGGER

    Well there, now you’ve said it. It’s a pity that the rich have more freedom to hang or drown themselves than the rest of us Christians. Come on, shovel. The most ancient aristocrats in the world are gardeners, ditch-diggers, and gravediggers. They keep up Adam’s profession.

    OTHER

    Was he an aristocrat? With a coat of arms?

    GRAVEDIGGER

    He was the first person who ever had arms.

    OTHER

    He didn’t have any.
