Hamlet
Sun, 10 Mar 2002, 08:27 amI had the privilege of attending Opening night , at The New Fourtune Theatre, of Shakespeare's Hamlet.Amongst the occasional flash of lightning the setting is in the traditional Elizabethan style and is , for want of a better word, outside.
For those of you intending to go, rest assured seating is provided.
For those of you who are not aware, this is being Directed by Grant Malcolm.
I am a fan of Shakespeare and in particular of Hamlet. I was particularly impressed with David Meadows portrayal of Hamlet he certainly is a fine actor.
My only comment in a vaguely negative way would be the interpritation of Gertrude. She is a little harsher/stronger than I am used to.
Apart from a few fumblings with lines that only a Shakespeare buff would have noticed , I believe the performance is certainly well worth seeing.I highly recommend it

I agree, it really was a play worth seeing. I was lucky enough to get free tickets to see the show from the Drama/Education Expo, and was surprised that there was not more people in the audience. I thought Shirley Welch played a brilliant Gertrude, so alive! and dimensional. David Meadows also played a brilliant Hamlet.
I would recommend it to anyone, with a warning though that it did run a long time, although it went quickly because it was so engaging. My advice would be to take something warm to wear, and a cushion if you have any back problems.
