Performance choices

Even though I wasn't there for the performance, I planned to play the King in Act 1 Scene 2. My group and I were going to mimic Olivier's version, where Claudius makes no eye contact with Hamlet (or Gertrude) at all. In order to receive attention, I did not join Hamlet and Gertrude's conversation and was singled out of their 'connection.' I was planning on pacing the 'stage' while saying my lines to portray Claudius' loudness while announces his lines.
