(Some version of this probably exists somewhere, but this is different, because *I* want to do it.)

The Play Scene in Hamlet, Act III Scene II - by Edwin Austen Abbey Oil on canvas (1897)
The play’s the thing. Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.
This scene from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet depicts the assembled court of Denmark watching a play that Hamlet has devised to "catch the conscience of the king." Suspecting that his father, the former king, was poisoned by his uncle Claudius, Hamlet has orchestrated a performance with a similar assassination plot. Languidly sprawled on the ground beside a wide-eyed Ophelia, Hamlet looks furtively over his shoulder to gauge his uncle’s reaction. Everyone else stares beyond the painting’s setting, toward the "play" before them. The viewer, standing in front of the canvas, thus occupies the same space as the actors on stage. The Philadelphia-born Edwin Austin Abbey, who settled in London in 1878, won fame on both sides of the Atlantic as an illustrator and painter of literary classics.

It's been around my mind for some time now- am I the only one who thinks that maybe, just maybe, "Father Brown" S10 E07 (was it E07?) has certain similarities to a @rose-edith post?

-the theatre, 1597-
aziraphale, wiping tears: what did you think?
crowley: ...
aziraphale: did you not like it?
crowley, hesitates: weeell...
aziraphale, sighs: what was wrong with this one?
crowley, shrugs: I don't know. it was all so...depressing. I mean, they were kids, angel
aziraphale, rolls his eyes: it's romantic
crowley: it's morbid
aziraphale, shakes his head: yes but it's about the star crossed lovers. the forbidden love. the tragedy. two feuding families. you wouldn't understand
crowley: *stares at him*
crowley, incredulous: sorry, did you seriously just say that?
aziraphale, oblivious: yes. so?
crowley, sighs: nothing *takes his arm* come on, let's get out of here
aziraphale, smiles: yes, I believe I owe you a drink. for coming with me
crowley, nods: several, I should think
aziraphale: it wasn't that bad
crowley, glares at him: dead kids, angel
aziraphale, agreeing: yes, I see your point

"O, a kiss Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge! Now, by the jealous queen of heaven, that kiss I carried from thee, dear, and my true lip Hath virgined it e'er since."
