Hamlet Rocks! Modern two and a bit hour version with live music and audio visuals Starring Craig Williams as Hamlet Rhoda Lopezas Horatio Dan Luxton as Claudius Angelique Malcolm as Gertrude Ben Russell as Laertes Whitney Richards as Ophelia/Osric Stephen Lee as Polonius/Gravedigger What is truth? Who is truly honest? Following last year’s dramatically intense and evocative production of Macbeth, Bare Naked and Class Act Theatre companies present perhaps Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedy. Driven to avenge the purportedly ‘accidental’ death of his father, a restless Hamlet seeks proof he was murdered by the man whom, to ensure a stable succession, so quickly married his father's widow... but Claudius now wields the reins of power. How best to act? Rationally or emotionally? For self or for others? A compact and intimate telling of Shakespeare's powerful tale of intrigue, obsession, and revenge, vividly brought to life in the executive boardrooms of a multinational corporation. “The play’s the thing, wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king” 4 shows only! Tue 25 Aug 8pm - a few seats left, Wed 26 Aug 8pm, Thu 27 Aug 10am & Fri 28 Aug 10am (almost booked out). Come along to the Subi Arts Centre, 180 Hamersley Rd, Subiaco or booked thru BOCS 9484 1133
