HAMLET by William Shakespeare
directed by T.J. Walsh
TRINITY SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL"While there may be plenty of things rotten in Denmark, there is nothing foul about the Trinity Shakespeare Festival production of Hamlet.
This solid-as-a-rock presentation of one of the best-known Shakespearean tragedies directed skillfully by T.J. Walsh lets the text tell the story.

"
Director T.J. Walsh freshens up what has become too conventional in most productions, allowing his actors to deliver their lines, no matter how famous, as whispered asides or up-tempo pronouncements.
Turning an innovative eye on a classic while maintaining its timeless magnitude is no easy feat."

"In the thrust configuation of the Hays Theatre, the audience can hear every word with no need for amplification. Brian Clinnin's set, Michael Skinner's lighting and Ric Dreumont Leal's costumes create an early Renaissance vision in russets and browns.
The ghost scenes directed by Mr. Walsh are spooky and fantastic." Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News * * * *
"The vigorous and commanding Andrew Milbourn fulfills one of the most challenging and sought-after roles in all of Shakespeare
with fresh and daring aplomb."
