This is a perfectly outrageous clip from Dame Edna’s show, filmed around the time of the release of Mel’s Hamlet, and posted on Mel’s MySpace page:

And in case you missed it, here’s our bardolatry review of Mel’s Hamlet, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, which I wrote back in 2002 or thereabouts.
And if you can’t get enough of Dame Edna waxing Shakespearean, check out her wonderfully hammy turn as Mrs. Crummles in the Nicholas Nickleby directed by Douglas McGrath—one of Clan Murphy’s to-pack-for-a-desert-island movies.
