‘To be, or not to be–that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles’
Set in Barbican Theater in London with shedloads of money and drama maharishis, come the biggest production to date. Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) in a title role ‘Hamlet’.
This ambitious undertaking of re-staging ‘Hamlet’ is directed by Lyndsey Turner’s production. Turner is the third female director to receive the Laurence Oliver Award (2014); and is famous for ‘Chimera’ that won the Critic’s Circle Theater Awards.
‘Hamlet’ one of Shakespeare tragedies, set in Denmark and is complete in 1601. A play that is full of dilemmas, arguments and genuine visceral actions that will linger in the audience’s brain banks.
Top billed with great theater actors, Benedict Cumberbatch will be juggling his acting prowess with Ciaran Hinds (Munich, Road to Perdition) who plays role of Claudius the brother to King Hamlet, Leo Bill assumes the character of Horatio, Sian Brooke as Ophelia a sweet innocent girl with whom Hamlet is in love and Karl Johnson as Ghost of Hamlet’s Father to name a few.
A production that is encumbered with allegory that makes the audience thinks. You simply will not caution how you are being elevated centuries as Cumberbatch genuinely substantiates what he is propagandizing.
‘Hamlet’ has been running at the National Theater in London since August and it is determined at the end of October a special ‘restricted engagement’ airing in U.S movie theaters will run from October 15th to the 22nd.
‘With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. — Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia! — Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.’
