Note return to page 1 This “Hamlet sketch”, which offers the Gravediggers' scene as a
single selected highlight from Shakespeare's play, probably dates
from the late 1640s or 1650s, when the public playhouses had been
shut down by the Puritan government but some groups of actors
still dared to act short ‘drolls’ such as this at inns, private
houses and fairs.
