| (Belvoir St Theatre) |
Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' in which the seemingly mad Prince of Denmark exacts revenge against his uncle and mother following the murder of his father, the King.
As usual this Belvoir Street Theatre staging is spare in setting and striking in interpretation. Characters are dropped from the production and scenes shed. A pianist sits at a grand piano in the corner providing musical accompaniment and a counter tenor wanders across stage singing baroque type ballads.
Toby Schmitz is a tormented, physical Hamlet.
★★★1/2
