"Why Hamlet?"

10/22/2017

We asked our Hamlet/Rosencrantz & Gildenstern Are Dead actors "What brings you to The Hamlet Project? What themes do you find most compelling, what characters most intriguing, what actions most worth pursuing?"
​Here's what they told us:


  • What we want/should want/think we want
  • Philosophy
  • Ophelia
  • Find beautiful words to love
  • Horatio
  • Dig into to monologue work
  • As a HS Senior, I relate to R&G – life is uncertain, let's party.....but also, what's next?
  • Unreliable narrator
  • New relationship with self
  • Witty wordplay
  • Laertes-Hamlet relationship.
  • I JUST WANT A ROLE
  • Be in someone else's shoes
  • Relate to not understanding what's going on
  • As a Freshman – trying to navigate which relationships are important
  • Let's get rid of “Angsty Hamlet”
  • Insanity
  • Surrealism
  • Theater, and what it's about

How about you? What are your "access points" into the story of Hamlet? What draws you in... or what keeps you out? What themes/characters/actions resonate for you? Answer in the comments:
