I am looking for actors and dancers to form a co-operative for my production of RAVE HAMLET (a radical re-interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet)

The production will explore the play within the context of contemporary nightclub culture.

The production will have a three week season in June.

The audition will be in the format of a two hour workshop to be held Saturday 24th March 2pm - 4pm at the Blue Room Theatre, James Street, Northbridge.

The production will operate as a profit share co-operative.

Please contact me on 041 328 7297 or Email: mcrisp@central.murdoch.edu.au to express an interest.

My previous productions include:

an elektra

A Radical Re-Interpretation: Chekhov's The Seagull

That sounds almost identical to a production I saw a week ago at Curtin Uni???
Would that be right?

Hi ya Jackie!

I am glad someone has brought this up. I was encouraged to see that stunning production at Curtin last week too. A friend called my attention to the fact that someone had beaten me to the line on this contextualisation.

It was a truely exhillerating piece of theatre! But as much as I enjoyed Club Shakespeare it bears no resemblance to my current project.

RAVE HAMLET is a text based piece not a dance work. It also represents a significant renegotiation of the texual integrity of the original and does not intend in any way to duplicate the story using a dance vocabulary.

I hope you get an opportunity of seeing RAVE HAMLET and perhaps reporting any cross-pollination.
