So yes, something new with Shakespeare. 😁 🏁 In this session, highlights include: ➤ An exploration of Hamlet's struggle with his mother's hasty remarriage ➤ Insights into Hamlet's responsibilities as a prince and his personal anguish ➤ The importance of staging and audience engagement in conveying Hamlet's emotions *** These sessions are free for all to enjoy; your support helps us keep this space creative, accessible, and high-quality.

He gives Laertes permission to return to France but denies Hamlet's request to return to the university in Wittenberg. Hamlet, mourning for his father's death, is left alone to vent his despair at what he regards as his mother's all too hasty marriage to his uncle, Claudius. Horatio, Barnardo, and Marcellus arrive and tell Hamlet about the Ghost. Hamlet makes plans to join them that night. I'm excited to finally share the amazing work this groups of artists has been doing. And we're still producing new sessions! #hamlet #workingactor #rehearsal #shakespeare #textwork #acting #actor #director
