Photo Coverage: Meet the Cast of Theatre N16's Risque Take Shakespearean Classic in GERTRUDE - THE CRY
Howard Barker's shocking and risqué take on Hamlet has its first major London revival at Theatre N16 this summer since its premiere in 2002. Reinterpreting Shakespeare's classic from the perspective of Hamlet's mother, this is a striking exploration of female sexuality and emancipation - but also a punky, filthy analysis of lust. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast of GERTRUDE - THE CRY in action below!
GERTRUDE - THE CRY is being directed by Chris Hislop, Theatre N16 press manager and renowned London theatre publicist, returning to his directing roots after a three-year hiatus. Co-produced by LWL Investments and Entertainment ltd.
Chris Hislop directs the cast of Howard Barker's filthy, unapologetically feminist take on Hamlet - GERTRUDE - THE CRY at Theatre N16 Balham - featuring Gertrude will be played by Izabella Urbanowicz, Claudius by Alexander Hulme, Hamlet by Jamie Hutchins, Cascan by Stephen Oswald, Ragusa by LJ Reeves, Albert by David Zachary, and Isola by Liza Keast.
Produced by Andrea Leoncini and Jamie Alexander Eastlake, with assistant director Kim Southey. LWL Investments & Entertainment Ltd and Theatre N16 presents Howard Barkers reworking of Hamlet for Shakespeare 400.
