Such great questions that I definitely need to ponder when my brain's more awake. I've just hoovered my floor properly for the first time since moving in, which involved some epic clear-age beforehand. The good news is I do in fact have a floor - I had been beginning to doubt it was there. :-)
I'll just say in my 'version' - or as I sometimes think of it a staging/production in the form of a novel - Horatio, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are all players while many of the others (including my Ophelia and two Hamlets) are brought into the players' world through their relationship with Horatio. Also 'Guildenstern' is the daughter of Claudius and incidentally 'Rosencrantz' is (or will be when I write him) essentially my headcanon version of an unseen Death Eater from Harry Potter who was called Rosier. Which is a nice coincidence name-wise, even if by the the time the novel's written and he has a new name the connection gets lost.
