The ultimate challenge: Shakespeare’s classic transformed into a tour de force of minimalistic theatre. Stunning, simple and seductive. It sounds impossible but two double-bass players, two actors, a wild imagination and fabulous ingenuity make it happen. Performed in English.
Created in 1999, Denmark’s Det Lille Turnéteater’s HAMLET has won awards and praise:
“The narrative is kept amazingly intact. You’ll be astonished (but delighted) to see how much of the four hour original that is kept in this brisk 75-minute reduction... recommended for all the young - the young in age, the young in mind and the young in spirit” Toronto Star
“This is not merely good theatre for youth, but theatre for youth that borders on the great.… This may be a simple production, but it is the kind of simplicity that only great talent dares employ. Shakespeare, I think, would have been impressed.” Toronto Sun
