Hamlet a la Classic Rock?

Here's one that will require further investigation.  As I was reading Who I Am:  A Memoir by Pete Townshend, I came across the following paragraph regarding the Who's rock opera, Tommy.

"One of the first changes Ken (Russell, the film's director) wanted to make was to nudge the story towards a kind of modern version of Hamlet, with the lover of Tommy's mother killing Tommy's father--rather than the other way round, as on the album.  I was concerned about this at first, then I saw that the dead father would become a symbol for Tommy of the 'Master' he sees in his dreams."

This statement will be enough to add viewing the film to the ever-growing Hamlet to-do list.  Check back sometime in the future for further thoughts.
