An exploration of creativity under pressure, as a troupe gathers to rehearse and perform a stage reading of Shakespeare's classic HamIet, in three days! "Crazy," says a cast member. This is a story of fathers and sons, mothers and uncles, nature and nurture, never more so than in this most personal production. Actor/manager AIex Hyde-White (Pretty Woman, Catch Me If You Can) confronts the ghosts of his "father", both real and imagined, as he portrays Western Literature's most compeIIing character. Using reaIity-style interviews to iIluminate the pIayers, incIuding American teIevision superstars Richard ChamberIain and Stefanie Powers, whose personaI refIections filI the story with memories, this re-imagining of a most timeIess story inspires and iIluminates the next generation, the younger members of the troupe. "CIashing" Hamlet, they fiIl the nostalgia of the past with the promise of a life-affirming future. What does it mean, to hoId 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), Alex 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 |
