In his unstinting efforts to revitalize Shakespeare's familiar tropes, director Michael Michetti sometimes blunders into excess, but there are also times when his innovations border on brilliance, while gifted Freddy Douglas is, quite simply, one of the best Hamlets in memory.

I agree with Stuart. I've studied, read, taught, and seen Hamlet, and this production brought all the best parts of the play vigorously to life. Deborah Strang as Gertrude was wonderful and deeply troubling, and Freddy Douglas was incredible as Hamlet. The adaptation worked very well (except for the glitchy sound which may have been intended for the strange mod setting).

A beautifully moving and appropriately disturbing production of a play I've seen so many times I swore I'd never see again. The adaptation is terse and intelligent and the performances, particularly Freddy Douglas as Hamlet, superb.
