Hamlet

Who would have thought that five people could put on a full production of Hamlet? I got to see the craziest thing last night! As part of Theater, we have to write critiques on theater productions, so I plunked down some borrowed money to see Hamlet. It was fantastic! Having never been to a Shakespeare play, this was a most memorable first. It was truly amazing to see how well five actors with minimal props and no elaborate costumes could carry across multiple characters each in imaginative ways. I was actually able to understand what was going on! For the most part. With each actor playing no fewer than three roles, and a couple many more than that, there was potential for confusion. However, each actor employed small changes in expression and tone to create a completely different character. It was truly an inspiring sight to see! One did not need a set to show them what was going on or where the actors were, it was all vividly imagined, stressing just how important and tedious great acting is.
There, that's my practice critique, rough draft if you will. Now I can relax and work on more pressing homework since the critique isn't due for a month. Yeah... anyhoodles... homework calls!
