Tyler Papa, Mark Swank, Noel deCordova, and Zack Curcio who played three songs they had written and recorded, which paralleled three different scenes from Hamlet and used Shakespeare’s language for the lyrics. The highlight of this recording was their “Final Showdown” in which each instrument represented one of the characters who died in the final scene, with the instrument dying out as the character died, and the song gradually moving toward Hamlet’s final line, “the rest is silence.”
A silent film created by Ian Griffith, James Magum, and James Clarke. The film, shot in the school’s chapel, with original music composed and played by Griffith, depicted the scene is which Claudius unsuccessfully attempts to ask for forgiveness for his wicked deeds, and Hamlet, after much internal debate, decides not to kill him. The cinematography was very impressive for a crew of amateur filmmakers as they manipulated the light streaming through the stain-glassed windows of the otherwise dark chapel, resulting in a number of beautiful and thought provoking shots.
