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

RE: Hamlet
Sun, 10 Mar 2002, 11:05 pmI went to see it Saturday night, and even though it started to rain half-way through, the actors didn't miss a beat. Along with that, every expectation I had for this cast was fulfilled. They were brilliant! I say this as someone who will be the first to admit her lack of knowledge of Shakespeare, but I was riveted the entire time. David Meadows as Hamlet just came alive in the part! The guys who played Claudius and Polonius (sorry guys, forgot to get a program!) were brilliant as well! And now, I could spend the next 5 hours naming each character and saying how brilliant each of them were... instead, I'll just say this: To those don't plan to see Hamlet, CHANGE YOUR PLANS! It is so worth it.
