Hamlet at the Barbican - contains spoilers about the production

Okay, so for those who want to discuss the production in full detail after they've seen it or for those who just want to know everything about it, this is the right place.

I'll give it a start by posting the first pics showing the stage work. You basically see nothing, but then again... it's exciting!

I love tech/behind the scenes stuff! Ooohh! Still wishing I could see this.



Clueing for looks.

Re: Hamlet at the Barbican - contains spoilers about the production

I'm so ridiculously excited about this. I'm going to see the play at the end of August and have decided not to look for reviews when they come out because I don't want to be influenced by them, when I finally see it. I just hope I'll have the discipline.
My seat is at the back of the stalls. Does anybody know the Barbican and can tell me if I should bring an opera glass?

Re: Hamlet at the Barbican - contains spoilers about the production

There are spoilers for Hamlet!? Moffat would say it's a 412 year old spoiler. 
But I know what you mean of course.

I always hope the end will be different.

Re: Hamlet at the Barbican - contains spoilers about the production

Maybe they shoul follow the original Danish version of the story, written by Saxo Gramaticus. Hamlet didn´t die in it, if I remember correctly.

I've been to the Barbican Theatre before and as far as I recall it is actually rather small and intimate so you are not that far from the stage. I haven't seen anyone using opera glasses there but it can't hurt to bring one just in case you want to have a close look at some details.

And I can only agree about the end... I will have to remember water proof makeup!
