I believe I have a copy, but have not yet sat through it.
If it's a retelling of Hamlet, I suspect it's a pretty loose
adaptation. And there is a banquet that is integral to the story, but
I'm not sure how closely the food and such are depicted. It may be
more of a backdrop for the action.

bellies."
