Royal Shakespeare Company Perform Hamlet
The Royal Shakespeare Company successfully captivated an audience ranging from primary school children, to our very own upper sixth formers and teachers at Wales High School. With actor Dharmesh Patel leading the way as Hamlet, a dynamic and diverse cast used their accomplished acting skills to make the complex language of Shakespeare and the dark plot of Hamlet accessible and enjoyable for all.

Despite large parts of the play being cut, the plot was still maintained and conveyed in an understandable and enjoyable fashion. The Shakespearean play was performed in such a way that it appealed to a wide age range and included little quirks that made it different yet still not far away from Shakespeare’s trademark style. Modern popular songs such as Sam Sparro’s ‘Black and Gold’ were sang by Ophelia in her stages of insanity, to relate to a younger mind, and to still keep the concept of her madness in place.

“I think your first experience of Shakespeare should be a beautiful one. If his language is appreciated from an early age then it is likely to continue to be popular, to grow and develop and to be enjoyed by them as they grow older.” Actor-Debbie Korley (Hamlet and Ophelia).
