doubt prevents the character in Hamlet's revised version of The Mousetrap from taking decisive action. What is "Hamlet's revised version of The Mousetrap"? Mark1 02:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The Mousetrap is the play that Hamlet has the players put on, his revised version includes the speech designed to oust Claudius as his Old Denmark's killer Evil Angry Cat 13:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

- Perhaps you're right - gasp! Unfortunately, I don't feel that I'm able to produce an adequate production history of the play. Perhaps you can. In any case, I think that it is helpful for the play to have some kind of production history listed, historically significant productions, of course, and just as importantly from my view point, recent productions in the North America, demonstrating the continuing relevance of the play. By the way, I have no connection with the Torn Space Theatre company production, except for having seen the play and enjoyed their vivid realization of Beckett's creation. 22:40 23 March 2007
It has also been theorized that Hamm is an actual person who on his death bed is imagining this gloomy reality due to the onset of death. As plausible a theory as this is, there is no proof from the author, his past, or his acquaintances to support it.
Is there a shred of textual evidence to lean on to prove this? If not, I think it should definitely go.
