Was the Free For All good? I'm a little sad I didn't remember to check for performance dates until it was already over—I saw their last performance of Hamlet a few years ago and enjoyed it. I can't recall the actors' names, but Ophelia impressed me; I especially liked the way Laertes and Ophelia mouthed the words and made amusing faces/gestures behind Polonius's back during the "This above all: to thine own self be true" speech. And their production of Pericles was gorgeous.
For the most part, Hamlet doesn't treat Horatio in the asshat style so characteristic of Our Hero, which probably makes Horatio unique among the living characters. From that alone you could make a case for Hamlet/Horatio!
Nice cover art! You've totally reminded me I wanted to make an Alice and Emily icon with the caption "scary sadistic sapphic secret fascists." My Photoshop's broken and I couldn't find a good screen cap, though. Oh, I could have liked the Torchwood bi-lesbians despite all the creepy stereotyping, if it weren't for the terrible, terrible acting by Amy Manson (Alice), which might even be worse than that of the actor who played Gray. Emily, not Alice, should have appeared in "Exit Wounds."
