I really enjoyed the play at the lantern theatre company, there was so much going on that i didnt know where to focus my eyes. I was amazed at how the stage was setup and how they used every inch to there ability and fit it right in with the story. Hamlet was phenomenal is stage movements and comedic timing were awesome and he brought a side of Hamlet that we didnt get to see in the movie nor the book. When there were times that the play needed to be brought back to life Geoff made the energy so much higher and therefore gave the supporting actors a little more motivation. Also, the audience was amazing and i felt like i was right in the middle of the action. I wish all plays were like that and all theatres were set up in that way because it really makes the play come to life and focuses my attention that much more on what is happening in the play. The actors did a phenomal job in that aspect also by incorporating the audience in what they were doing and keeping our attention. We were just as much in the play as Hamlet and Ophelia. Above all that play and adaptation of Hamlet i enjoyed greatly and it actually made me want to maybe do some shakespeare because of the energy and the fun that those actors brought to the stage.
