I staged Hamlet at blog Laugh-arse loonyPop with Miss Pavlov as Ophelia and Mister Bahnisch as the king. It was an enormous hit and I got requests for King Lear but my players were reluctant.
The setting was a Paddington cafe, with Yorick in the middle of the table. He had a speaking part but only Hamlet could hear him. Miss Tartan (at her request) played Orsic.
Some have interpreted this as a reference to Patrick, Hamlet's drunken Irish companion. I read an article once that made quite a strong, and amusing, case for Patrick's existence. Can't remember where, but.

It's the kind of thing they show on America's Funniest Home Videos. Not that I'd know. Oh, no. Not me.
