Abstract
The rules of belonging to a group can be clear and transparent or hidden and opaque. This paper examines some of the problems that can be experienced by members and provisional members of NZAP and draws analogies with Shakespeare's Hamlet. Of particular interest are the play's themes of protocol, power, betrayal and hypocrisy and how they can affect large group interaction. The pain and shame of self-consciousness and of feeling excluded can result in continuing difficulties when we meet together in large groups.
