Question: Who played the lead role in the play which most clearly reflects Shakespeare's relationship with his sovereign?
Context: The Lord Chamberlain's Men was a company of actors, or a "playing company" as it would have been known, for which Shakespeare wrote for most of his career.  Richard Burbage played most of the lead roles, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth while Shakespeare himself performed some secondary roles.  Formed at the end of a period of flux in the theatrical world of London, it had become, by 1603, one of the two leading companies of the city and was subsequently patronized by James I.

Instagram Pier (officially Western District Public Cargo Working Area ) is a pier located on the waterfront of Sai Wan.  Many residents of Sai Wan often go there for wandering, resting, walking their dogs and fishing.  Recently (since at least 2010), it has become a popular place for witnessing sunsets and shooting photos.  The picturesque surrounding area seen from the pier has taken on the nickname -"Mirror of the Sky", since many photographs are taken of the reflective shoreline there.  The name refers to the natural phenomenon of reflections seen on the unusually thick layer of water remaining on the ground after rainfall.  The water clearly reflects the sky and shadows of people and objects standing on the horizon.  Sunsets often add a stunning effect to this "Mirror of the sky” phenomenon.

Richard III is a 1955 British Technicolor film adaptation of William Shakespeare's historical play of the same name, also incorporating elements from his "Henry VI, Part 3".  It was directed and produced by Sir Laurence Olivier, who also played the lead role.  The cast includes many noted Shakespearean actors, including a quartet of knights.  The film depicts Richard plotting and conspiring to grasp the throne from his brother King Edward IV, played by Sir Cedric Hardwicke.

The prologue of the film states that history without its legends would be "a dry matter indeed", implicitly admitting to the artistic licence that Shakespeare applied to the events of the time. Hamletmachine (in German, Die Hamletmaschine) is a postmodernist drama by German playwright and theatre director Heiner Müller.  Written in 1977, the play is loosely based on "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare.  The play originated in relation to a translation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" that Müller undertook.  Some critics claim the play problematizes the role of intellectuals during the East German Communism area; others argue that the play should be understood in relation to wider post-modern concepts.  Characteristic of the play is that it is not centred on a conventional plot, but partially connects through sequences of monologues, where the protagonist leaves his role and reflects on being an actor.
