The Haunting of Hamlet
Critic
A ghost story that feels more alive than the living.
The production at the Royal Court brings a new perspective to Shakespeare classic. The use of projection and sound design creates an atmosphere of dread that is palpable from the first scene.
Sarah Stage performance as the Prince is nothing short of revolutionary, capturing the indecision and madness with a twitchy, modern energy.
The final act, often a cluttered mess of bodies, is handled with a stark, minimalist gaze that leaves the audience in stunned silence.
A must-watch for anyone who thinks they have seen everything Hamlet has to offer.
