Thespian Hamster to Star in Rodent Adaptation of ‘Hamlet’

The Royal Shakespeare Company’s upcoming production of Hamlet has a new twist: All the parts will be played by small, furry actors.

“It’s only fitting that the title role be played by a hamster,” says Joyce Berger, creative director. That honor has been bestowed on Jackson, a classically trained hamster actor who sees the opportunity as a breakout role.

“We think he’s really going to shine,” says Thomas Cole, the show’s director. “You’ll never think about Shakespeare the same way again.”

“It really is amazing, and will have all sorts of military applications,” says the source on condition of anonymity. “It only works on one particular carpet right now, but we’ll work out the kinks.”

Ferret Journalist Infiltrates Secretive Bee Network

Roger, a reporter for the International Ferret Times, has pulled off a deep cover operation to expose the inner workings of a beehive. Thanks to an elaborate costume and months of work assimilating into bee culture, the journalist has finally produced a piece that could make his career.

“He really earned their trust,” says Mac Forsyth, Roger’s editor at the Times. “In return, they showed him everything – the honey recipes, the truth about stinging people. This feature is really going to change people’s perceptions.”
