THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS, YET THERE IS METHOD IN’T.

Who Am I? Why Do I Exist? What Must I Do?

Those central questions of existence make HAMLET unique among all Shakespeares plays. It examines the conflict between private versus public duty and the individual’s obligation to the self and the State.

Aside from the universality of human emotion, the story of Hamlet is compelling in itself. Who can resist a play with eight violent deaths, a ghost, adultery, incest, a mad woman and a fight in a grave? Perhaps what keeps HAMLET fresh and exciting is that these questions remain for each audience: why does Hamlet not immediately avenge his father’s murder? Is it the weight of the conscience ‘that doth make cowards of us all?’ What keeps us from acting on our most base and most immediate impulses – is it social convention or personal morality – or simply the fear of punishment? What keeps us alive when all forces point towards giving up and submitting to death—that ‘undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns?’

Is Hamlet a hero? Perhaps – but the ambiguity of his heroic nature is what keeps him so fascinating.

The audience’s experience of the production will be entirely from Hamlet’s Point of View: we present only the scenes that the character Hamlet observes and/or participates in. Within the scenes presented interior cuts have been made to streamline the action and focus the events of the play on Hamlet’s journey. 

This highlights how the role of Hamlet and the questions the play presents apply to all of us and how in today’s world everyone is Hamlet.
