1. Steampunk Hamlet? Yeah, like that's never been (http://www.goldstar.com/events/concord-ca/hamlet.html) done (http://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/entertainment/southern-arts/4643339/Hamlet-gets-steampunk-makeover) before (http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.74203611.jpg).
1b. There's something I find really off-putting about the Steampunk genre... there are obviously some exceptions to this, but too many times it's used very shallowly, because gears look cool.
2. I'm sure Steampunk Hamlet is going to be a hit with not only the general public, but with fandom as well, and, of course, the slashers. Good on you for heading off that tide, OP. Ooh, I bet Hamlet wins this time!
3. What are people doing queering Horatio and Hamlet's relationship? Gay, in SHAKESPEARE? What is this tomfoolery?
4. How much do Horatio and Ophelia interact in Hamlet? I remember them acting as foils to each other (they're the ones who seem to truly love Hamlet), but do they actually interact? It's not like they'd be an Olivia and Viola situation, is all I'm saying.
5. No fifth comment, but five seems better than four.

Oh, thank you, you just said everything I was thinking.

Actually, I have a point 5:

5) Lady!Horatio has definitely been done before. Sometimes because there aren't enough male actors, sometimes because the director wants to play up the sexual tension between Hamlet/Horatio without being overly controversial (sad that changing the gender of a character is less controversial than creating a relationship between characters the way they are). Either way, it's pretty common. If you're going to gender-bend in Hamlet, Horatio is the obvious candidate.

[vivalana.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that's also a good point! There's been plenty of productions where everyone switches genders. Good times.

Five IS better than four.

Horatio and Ophelia don't interact that much, and you'd get more support in the lit crowd for Ophelia having it off with Laertes (yeah, no, I know, I'm not saying it's not messed up). Buuut... I could see a Horatio/Hamlet/Ophelia three way thing goin' on. And though they don't so much interact in the play, it doesn't mean they don't know each other and we just don't see them because during the course of the play they haven't got much to say to each other and then she goes crazy.

I see that threesome happening regardless of anybody's gender. *shrug*

I've played a man in Shakespeare once when we were short on fellas and long on women. I was a nameless Lord, but I wasn't the only chick-playing-a-dude... it was for the Scottish play. All three murderers were played by young women, the first of which was exceedingly... *developed*. My friend told me afterward that the best part of the show was when the busty girl said 'We are men, my liege!'
