LAST CHANCE TO SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rapture’s extraordinary production of this classic play is coming to the end of its tour.
A modern dress production that combines Shakespeare’s great text, highly effective set design and ingenious direction.
Starring a stellar Scottish cast --- this is a must see
Check out what people have been saying:
"The realisation of the opening scenes are simply magical - quite possibly the cleverest piece of theatrical trickery I've seen since the 'pool table' moment in "Black Watch". "
A View from the Stalls
"The minimal setting- Dominated by an impressive screen printed montage of Glasgow buildings ---adds to the brooding atmosphere….its gripping stuff"
David Craig News of the World **** Four Stars
"Grant O'Rourke as a hugely promising Hamlet, … rises to the challenge of the great soliloquies."
Joyce McMillan The Scotsman
"David Tarkenter as Claudius gave a performance of depth, …. his powerful delivery of the chapel soliloquy that most clearly showed his guilt as the dark mirror of Hamlet's grief."
Neil McEwan Edinburgh Evening News **** Four Stars
"Emily Jane Boyle in particular is magnificent as the tragic Ophelia."
Catherine Usher -- The Stage
"Alan Steele was excellent as Polonius"
Neil McEwan Edinburgh Evening News **** Four Stars
"As well as the magnificently stylish opening scenes, director Michael Emans has other ingenious set pieces up his sleeve"
A View from the Stalls
"At the end I found tears pricking my eyes,…… fascinating production of such an infinitely familiar play"
Joyce McMillan The Scotsman
"Rapture Theatre’s production of Hamlet is all about showcasing the company’s talent. Fortunately for all, there is an abundance of it."
Catherine Usher -- The Stage
But never mind the critics.....here is what the audience have been saying:
“ I thought it was one of the best productions I’ve seen……one of the best Hamlet’s I’ve seen in years. Claudius and Polonius were excellent, with Polonius in particular, really making the part his own”
Marion Watson , 66, retired, Meadowbank
“This is my first Shakespeare and I was unsure whether I’d enjoy a three hour production in 400 year old language, but I was surprised and really pleased as well. The plot was easy to follow…. I’ve always been a little afraid of Shakespeare, but having seen this show I can see how approachable he is “
Karolyn Duncanson , 14, student, Leith
