actually, rather than limits I usually feel like I only apprehend a
subset of what is meant

that's the "my reading" subset and absent confirmation in the text,
sure I can vector off from this in any direction at all, but the risk
(and, once in awhile, reward) is my own

mostly the way I'd usually add to my reading is read up on one or more
of the references that are mentioned, but sometimes a person just
wants to run with a notion...

I think for a 1st movie (or stage play?) of IV I'd stick pretty close
to the text, and only maybe after a few "straight" takes had been done
would I put a wire on Shasta -- like those latter-day Hamlets where
Denmark is a corporation or something...
