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

Well, I saw it too, and I must say for my first ever Shakepeare I actually understood more than just bits of it. (am I truly the only person schooled in Australia who never was forced to study the Bard?) And I've not been frightened away - I may even see another.
I'd like to apologise for not hanging around after and saying hi (I can't believe that in the short time I've lived in Perth I've met so may people in such a large cast) but it ended late and hubby was tired sooo....
Bloody well done!
And a particular thank you must go to the god of storms, the sprinkles of rain were light, the wind lent a great effect, sweeping cloaks in the eerie bits (how the hell did the SM synchronise that?) and adding to the lighting overall.
