"An Extraordinary Triumph..." The Stage, May 2012



A bold new adaptation of Shakespeare's original text by William Jessop

Director: Peter Clerke, Choreography: Jo Harris

The greatest play in the world - as you've never seen it before...

Hamlet's Father is dead. His Mother has married his Uncle. His girlfriend's Dad says they can't be together. And then the ghost turns up... Blue Apple Theatre re-invent the world's greatest play in a fresh, fearless and funny adaptation using Shakespeare's original language. Think you know Hamlet? Think again!

Tommy Jessop, Anna Brisbane, James Elsworthy, Katy Francis, Lawrie Morris and Ros Davies toured their unique re-imagining of Hamlet to mainstream theatres and arts venues across the South and returned to Winchester for the full company production of Hamlet performed at Winchester's Theatre Royal .

Blue Apple Theatre presented its extraordinary new vision of Hamlet to mark the World Shakespeare Festival and the talents of our award-winning touring company.

WHAT PEOPLE SAID:

"One of the most stirring performances I've seen, superb."

"Moving and inspiring, wonderful."

"A memorable performance. An excellent Hamlet - what presence!"

"Really moving. Fantastic storytelling. Loved Ophelia’s movement – beautiful and moving."

"And the script! We couldn't stop talking about it. Simply perfect."

"A true romance as well as a tragedy, and made us really CARE about Hamlet as a character in a way I'd almost given up on."
