==Behind the scenes==
Written in December of 1984, this story was only published over a year later in February of 1986, in the Swedish Kalle Anka & Co. #1986-08. It was printed in English in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #539 with the script "spiced up" by Geoffrey Blum; among other changes, the play was turned from just plain Hamlet to a parody thereof, entitled Gimlet.
