Hamlet - 3rd Year Academy
Thu, 30 Mar 2000, 02:39 pmAt the risk of being banished forever for getting off the subject of the King Lear review;
Went to see the third year theatre students production of Hamlet at the Academy last night. I've seen about five productions of Hamlet in my short life and this one left them all for dead.
The set was incredible, made up to look like a Kosovo-esque warzone with a three part moving set. The overall costume design was striking and the acting was amazing. The guy who played Hamlet was so focused, so talented, he managed all the nuances of the character with ease.
I recommend it and play close attention to the pink haired firebrand playing Laertes(?), he is the well know and loved and out of site inproved Ben Sutton, looking none the worse for his Academy training.
Four and a half stars. Hurry, it closes on Sunday.
