Top Dog Announces Summer Shakespeare 2016, HAMLET
For this year's Summer Shakespeare Festival, TOP DOG THEATRE follows in the vein of last year's success, following one man. Last year it was Macbeth, this year it's HAMLET. What a fantastic opportunity to see one of the world's most famous plays. This year's show is directed by Derek Doddington.
Set in Denmark, mainly within and without the Castle of Elsinore, Mona Vale will be transformed for this great tragedy of murder, greed and revenge, where we will witness HAMLET's indecision and his supposed madness; the play culminating in the 'rigged' fight Hamlet has with Laertes, applauded on by the devious King Claudius."To be or not to be (at Mona Vale) - that is the question" - as we witness Hamlet's continual delaying tactics, in doing what has to be done, to obtain his father's revenge. See the intrigue and the mystery, as everyone wants to find out, why is HAMLET mad...? Perhaps they should first find out 'if' he is mad... or is he just one step ahead of them all....?
Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature. The play seems to have been one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most-performed. It is one of those plays which is synonymous with certain items and quotes; "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him", "Words, Words, Words." and still receives great criticism and often quoted in modern literature, "Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move...
