Best Mousetrap Scene The production of the Mousetrap variant I liked best was Kenneth Branagh’s interpretation. I enjoyed Branagh’s portrayal of Hamlet best because his imitation of Hamlet during the play seemed as if his actions were not planned.

Hamlet would yell across the stage to make sure that everyone
