They're two minor characters, courtiers, who are so deferential they're faintly comical. I have no idea what weird association Curtis was making. ----- Don't try to *read* "Hamlet"; go see it. Or rent it--Mel Gibson's 1990 film version was quite good, surprisingly. Olivier's 1948 film is classic. Or, oh, my God, if you can find the audio recording of John Gielgud's "Hamlet," it'll knock your socks off and rip your heart out. I think it's on CD. Once you've got the plot and characters under your belt, rent Tom Stoppard's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." It's "Hamlet" from their perspective, and it's brilliant. Among other terrific performances, Richard Dreyfus in his best role ever as the Player. Total gas.
