OVERVIEW The play, like ''Hamlet'', takes place in five acts, though the script is highly condensed: the whole text is roughly eight pages long. Moreover, after Act I (which rushes through the first three acts of the original play in a page and a half) the characters depart almost entirely from the original work, actually stepping out of the context of the theater itself in Act IV. The script itself is extremely dense and open to interpretation; recurring themes include Feminism and the Ecology Movement . The play remains Müller's most-often performed and (arguably) his best-known today; Müller himself directed a seven-and-a-half hour performance of ''Hamlet'' (in which ''Die Hamletmaschine'' was the play-within-a-play) in Berlin in 1990. PERFORMANCE HISTORY The play has been performed as a as Die Hamletmaschine-Oratorio . EXTERNAL LINKS
