What a fantastic way to introduce your daughter to it - I'm actually slightly envious that she came to the story completely fresh and every twist and turn of the plot was a genuine surprise... I totally agree with you about the final scene. i found the deaths a little too... hurried? I know they all come in quick succession in the text, but some of the deaths (especially Gertrude's, and to a degree Claudius's) felt a little token... I did think that David's death scene was great though, and (controversially) I loved that they finished on 'the rest is silence', removing Horatio's speech and the detail about Fortinbras...

Great review!
