Shakespeare uses a couple techniques to show the conflict between Hamlet and Gertrude in this scene, irony being the one most used.
First, Hamlet speaks in an aside (meaning no one else can hear him) to indicate he's not interested in speaking to his family -- they are "less than kind."
Then, Gertrude comments on Hamlet's clothing, indicating he's mourning too much. She tells him directly to be kind to Claudius. She says people die all the time, and he replies "aye, it is common," an ironic reply. The death of a king is not "common" -- nor is murder.
Then, Hamlet discusses the meaning of the word "seem," implying that people could fake their grief. (He's implying, perhaps, that Gertrude faked her grief.) His grief, however, IS real.

The radio version was presented as a real situation. It was not clarified to the audience that was just a "play" ,and the people panicked. What people heard on the radio was taken seriously. THe events in the original novel are developed in England in the 19th century, this was changed to adapt it to the radio show to the United States, in New Jersey to make it more contemporary. Orson Wells wanted a greater broadcast off his novel, so he came up with this idea.
