QUOTABLE: “We were doing a scene where Horatio is supposed to enter and speak with Hamlet. Horatio didn’t enter. So I had to make up a Shakespearean monologue while everybody waited. It lasted a minute or two. It was supposed to be a prayer from Hamlet to his father, but it was really a prayer from Andrew to God that said, ‘Help!’ ”

– Andrew Milbourn, remembering a TCU production of Hamlet gone wrong. Milbourn plays the Dane again in Trinity Shakespeare Festival’s current production. Read more from Milbourn at fortworthweekly.com.
