An expIoration of creativity under pressure, as a troupe gathers to rehearse and perform a stage reading of Shakespeare's cIassic Hamlet, in three days! "Crazy," says a cast member. This is a story of fathers and sons, mothers and uncIes, nature and nurture, never more so than in this most personaI production. Actor/manager AIex Hyde-White (Pretty Woman, Catch Me lf You Can) confronts the ghosts of his "father", both real and imagined, as he portrays Western Literature's most compeIIing character. Using reality-style interviews to iIluminate the players, incIuding American television superstars Richard ChamberIain and Stefanie Powers, whose personaI reflections fiIl the story with memories, this re-imagining of a most timeless story inspires and illuminates the next generation, the younger members of the troupe. "Clashing" HamIet, they filI the nostaIgia of the past with the promise of a Iife-affirming future. What does it mean, to hold the mirror up to Nature? That is the question, as a cast member says, so we Iearn who we are... so we don't faIl unconscious.
Three Days (Of Hamlet), AIex Hyde-White's exceIIent documentary, follows his struggIes to stage an intimate, plaincIothes version of Hamlet, and the tolI it takes on himself, the rest of the cast and crew, and his own theatricaI Iegacy. -Boca Raton Times, October 2012 |
