Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
I can't wait to see him...
The last time I saw Andrew in theatre, there were dozens of boys and girls( I suspect drama students), screaming at him...I will be doing the same, judging by that picture!

Was it Birdland? I'd have loved to see him in Birdland!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Yes.
The part suited him to a tee and he was very good.
Loved the set.
Not the best play I've ever seen, but it was interesting.

Wow. That photo is amazing. I thought it was taken underwater, at first.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
My exact first thought was: it's very Ophelia...
He is playing Hamlet, isn't he?!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
I think that picture is beyond perfect. As we all know, Hamlet dies in the end. But even before that, he's feeling dead inside and there's always a sense of doom and death surrounding him and everyone else. So yes, great picture.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
I agree, it is perfect. I was staring at it for some time when I found it yesterday. I love the colours.
And he'll be perfect in that role as usual.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Stunning pictures. Funnily enough, Ophelia sprung to mind rather than Hamlet, what with the flowers. (The last Shakespeare production I saw had a lot of gender swap!).

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Just about had a nervous breakdown trying to get them!
Daughter on line and me on the phone and we both got through at exactly the same time...after about an hour or so of trying, after a rather difficult day at work!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
It's on Feb to April next year.
My school holidays only coincided with the last week of the run, so I thought I wouldn't have chance for tickets.
As it is, hubby and I are going to the Wednesday matinee performance.
Just hope with it being almost the end of the run, that Andrew doesn't fall ill!

You know how you are ridiculously excited, but just don't want to hope for too much?!
