Once again another triumph can be added to The Guildhall's shelf of accomplishments. Their new, beautiful and chilling performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet was no disappointment!
The country sound of the guitar rang through the spectral mist on stage. The simplistic set was arranged wonderfully as actors moved swiftly from one side to another. The haunting song which featured throughout the performance was buzzing in my head as I left the theatre- fully satisfied and amazed at the quality and talent of the acting, direction and lighting.
For any Shakespeare fan this is a must see. Even if you have never seen a Shakespeare in your life you must visit this play. The way in which the actors expressed their lines made the content and story easy to understand and enjoy.
A stellar performance from the cast was maintained throughout the performance. I found myself touched by Queen Gertrude- played by Faith Alabi- and constantly laughing at Polonius's awful yet pleasing jokes portrayed by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd.
The unique yet interesting use of four different Hamlets was well directed by Jo McInnes who not only added an edgy feel to the play but a fresh outlook into one of Shakespeare's most complex scripts.
Make a journey to Milton Court Studio and relax whilst watching the powerful portrayal of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
