Guy Masterson presents Sam Blythe in a solo production of Hamlet that strips Shakespeare's most puzzling play to the nerve. Clown and physical theatre collide with the Bard's words as Blythe leads audiences into Hamlet's apparently impaired mind in the midst of his mania, guided by the direction of Elf Lyons. One man, one role, no certainty. The show is performed at Studio Four, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely physical, clown-inflected take on Hamlet that makes this four-hundred-year-old play feel raw and immediate. Blythe's virtuosity is the whole show — up close, in a studio, with nowhere to hide.
