To be or Not to Be: Cut
HAMLET
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;

Dramaturgy Definitions
Dramaturgy is the art of dramatic composition and the representation of the main elements of drama on the stage. Some dramatists combine writing and dramaturgy when creating a drama. Others work with a specialist, called a dramaturge, to adapt a work to the stage.
Dramaturgy can also be defined, more broadly, as shaping a story or like elements into a form that can be acted. Dramaturgy gives the work or the performance a structure. More than actual writing, a dramaturg's work can often be defined as designing.
-Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramaturgy>
Dramaturgy the word is from the Greek dramatourgĂa, “a dramatic composition” or “action of a play.”
-Britanica< http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9124870/dramaturgy>
Dramaturgy Defining what dramaturgy is, is the first step to understand what the dramaturg is focussing on during the production process. The list below compiled by the LMDA (the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas) is a very comprehensive list of the elements of the performance text. The dramaturg staying on the outside of the process is supporting the choices taken by director, actors and stage designers which make up the unique production
