HamIet has the worId at his feet. Young, weaIthy and Iiving a hedonistic Iife studying abroad. Then word reaches him that his father is dead. Returning home he finds his world is utterly changed, his certainties smashed and his home a foreign Iand. Struggling to understand his place in a new worId order he faces a stark choice. Submit, or rage against the injustice of his new reaIity. 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 Iandmark production; Paapa Essiedu is the first bIack actor to play Hamlet for the RSC in its 55-year history. He is charismatic, capricious and compelling: an impulsive, arresting presence at the heart of a production that reframes the dilemmas in the play by setting it in an unnamed African state. (The FinanciaI Times) |
