See, my - my theory is that all the characters are Hamlet: it's all happening in Hamlet's head. So you only need one actor.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker proposes that every character exists in Hamlet's mind, then draws a practical conclusion: only one actor is needed. The jump from a sweeping interpretation to a casting solution gives the idea its comic shape. The hesitant opening makes the confident conclusion feel especially odd.
