“They have to be both steel and gossamer at the same time; steel in their resolution and gossamer in being one of the best bits of tracing paper for what it’s like to be alive. You can imagine the world printing itself on them and through them, you can identify with the very appalling circumstances that they’re in and make you braver when you face something like it.” 

—Michael Boyd on Hamlet
