It details the arrangement of downstage and upstage set pieces, including plexiglass and white cubes, screens on wheels, and rotating flats. It also narrates performer entrances, costume colors, and step-by-step cueing using sound, black-outs, and book- and door-like elements on the set to visualize identity and props.","I The MIT Press

center five plexiglass cubes are arranged in a row from left to right.Eachcube has a sword stuck into it from above and a cassette-recorder lying on the bottom.On the top side of each cube are five illustrations of a hand holding a sword.One illustrationis a photo of a hand and sword,one an x-ray,one words,one an echo,and one a blacksilhouette.  \nUpstage center is what appears to be a screen on wheels.On the left flat are threewhite rectangles the size of small paperback books,one above the other.The word\"Hamlet\"is printed on each.  \nThe performing area is lit in even white light from the moment the audience enters.When all are seated,the performers enter from the upstage corners.Stuart Shermantakes his place behind a tower of white styrofoam cubes,which are the same size as theplexiglass cubes downstage.The tower is at this point hidden by flats,which the otherperformers take their places behind:Hamlets 1,2,and 3 behind the left,upstage flats,Hamlets 4 and 5 behind the right downstage flats.The man and woman take their placesbehind the downstage flats,the man behind the left,the woman behind the right.  \nThe audience sees the performers disappearing behind the flats.The Hamlets wearunobtrusive colors:brown,light-blue and beige.The man and the woman wear dark-blueclothes.Sherman wears black trousers,and a black T-shirt with a dark red shirt over it.  \nThe downstage flats are wheeled to the side.The two upstage flats are now visible.In the middle of them are five rectangles with the word \"Hamlet\"split into halves.Thedownstage lats are turned around,revealing vertical rows of book-pages,each pagesmaller than the one above it.The pages on the left flat are rectangular,those on theright flat,triangular.  \nThe upstage flats are then wheeled to the side,not quite as far out as the downstageflats,and turned around.Five horizontal rows of pages from Hamlet are seen on eachflat.Behind the flats,now visible,is the tower of five white cubes,with a small red squareon the front side of each.The other sides of the cubes show the following:  \nStuart Sherman,as Hamlet,appears in front of door flat  \nCube No.1:A photo of Sherman's face,of a cassette-recorder andof a hand holding a sword.  \nCube No.2:An x-ray photo of Sherman's face,cassette-recorder,handholding a sword  \nCube No.3:The
