The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark
26 February 2008 – 08 March 2008 Tower Theatre
Film adapted after William Shakespeare
Malthouse Theatre, Poor Theatre,
New Adaptation Film Collaboration
Screenings of a locally-produced film version of Shakespeare's tragedy.
Like Denmark's Dogme film movement, this Hamlet abandons convention to focus on the bleeding essence of its source material — a young man driven to the brink of insanity by outrageous fortune. Here, his only friend, Horatio becomes a hand-puppet, his only hope, a revenge as absurd as it is inevitable.
