Description
For this performance we are looking at the psychological thriller and personal drama aspects, and at finding the action that drives the story forward. By playing Hamlet as a woman, I hope that people will re-examine the relationships she has with her father, her mother, Ophelia and all the other characters with whom she interacts. I think that these relationships are the force behind all the actions that Hamlet feels compelled to do. And despite 400 years of performance, I hope we can get people to listen and watch the story from a fresh perspective.
