• I think the hooks would be less cumbersome, and the meaning would be unaffected, if you removed "character's". Edwardx (talk) 10:29, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

• It's also one way to make sure the hooks are not over the DYK maximum of 200, since they are currently 202 and 204 characters, respectively, and thus too long. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

• I thought that "that" wasn't counted. Anyhoo, I'd rather just delete the play title instead.
