Hamletarama!
All theatre groups ‘do’ Shakespeare, and most of them take liberties with The Bard, but we are confident that no-one has ever taken quite so many liberties as we did.
Aperitivo’s Hamlet - renamed Hamletarama! as being more suitable for this extremely lively version - features a total of 5 Hamlets, 3 Ophelias, 2 cleaning ladies and a cat. This multiplication of leading roles allowed us to explore different expressions of the character, with the Director (our play is written as a rehearsal) also asking the actors the sort of questions that explored the meaning of the play and made it even more interesting to audiences.
