Alleyn thinks very frequently of Hamlet, perhaps his favourite Shakespearean play. When eaves-dropping on one occasion he observed wryly to Inspector Fox, "next stop, with Polonius behind the arras in a bedroom" (False Scent, Ch. VI), and when asked to give advice by one Miss Meade, Alleyn thinks of himself as "a mature Hamlet" (Killer Dolphin. Ch.9).
