In William Shakespeare's play Hamlet " dumb show" is performed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dumb show is defined as way of conveying messages through gestures where there will be no speech. It is also referred to as a mime. Hamlet is a classic tragedy of William Shakespeare . This play mainly focuses on how King Claudius betrayed and how Hamlet attempted justice and revenge.

Dumbshow was the way that Hamlet used to determine whether King Claudius was guilty or he was not guilty. It shows the events of real life. It was that part of the play that fictionalizes Claudius's murder.
