Guess who's back in the house, it's Amelia and Rebecca, here to bathe in the soft wisdom of the English language's greatest poet – Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd.
All the world's a stage and all the men, women, asthmatics and asexual people of Brokenwood are merely players. But what, ho! Did someone say the name of the Scottish play in the theatre? In S02E02, To Die or Not to Die, a 21-year-old orphan has died all over the stage during an amateur production of Hamlet. And not from an arrow of outrageous fortune, nor from tripping over a hardback copy of Infinite Jest either. So, what happened? A plague on both their houses would get the show cancelled, surely. Was it a happy dagger or something else? Mike and Kristin are on the case. Now that Kristin's decided the victim has actually died and wasn't just. . . milking it on stage.
This episode is incredibly gay and contains discussion of The Matrix, review culture, queer and trans representation, the amyl nitrate ban and the Ellen sitcom. In Brokenwood Logs On, a reporter at the Manawatū Standard thinks Brokenwood is on too late and also has some reckons about 'high speed porn'.
