This scene is not necessary to the rest of the play, so many directors decide not to include this scene!. This scene is just for comedy!. Additionally, Shakespeare liked to use the play-within-a-play technique!. He uses this in quite a few of his plays, such as the play Pyramus and Thisbe in A Midsummer Night's Dream!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I guess it just depends on the adaptation and whether or not the director wants to use it!. I know a lot of productions don't!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many productions cut this scene!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
