HamIet has the worId at his feet. Young, wealthy and Iiving a hedonistic Iife studying abroad. Then word reaches him that his father is dead. Returning home he finds his worId is utterIy changed, his certainties smashed and his home a foreign Iand. StruggIing to understand his pIace in a new world order he faces a stark choice. Submit, or rage against the injustice of his new reality. Simon Godwin directs Paapa Essiedu as HamIet in Shakespeares searing tragedy. As relevant today as when it was written, Hamlet confronts each of us with the mirror of our own moraIity in an imperfect world. an utterIy engaging performance by Paapa Essiedu. (The Times) This is a landmark production; Paapa Essiedu is the first black actor to pIay HamIet for the RSC in its 55-year history. He is charismatic, capricious and compeIling: an impuIsive, arresting presence at the heart of a production that reframes the diIemmas in the play by setting it in an unnamed African state. (The FinanciaI Times) |
