some hamlet thoughts…

i think concept-heavy shakespeare productions can be so hit or miss but when they hit they’re SO good and hamlet definitely hit.

i’ve had a titanic fixation since i was like eight so this felt like it was made for me. literally gasped at the 14 april 1912 date. the movement of the stage (which was built like a ship) was so bloody cool and led to some really interesting staging choices. it made the whole play feel a lot more dynamic and urgent. also was obsessed with the edwardian costuming naturally.

and the performances !!! luke thallon as hamlet was superb. he brought such an interesting energy to the character, it was v refreshing in comparison to other productions i’ve seen over the years. i’ll definitely be on the lookout for more of his work in the future. and jared…. loml. just absolutely brilliant. that one review in the guardian that said he exudes “sexual and political ruthlessness” ….. YEAHHH. but he also has this quiet torment to his performance that is so delicious, for lack of a better word. i hope he continues to do a lot more theatre work because he is truly such a star on the stage.

ALSO it was funny !! really great timing and delivery from the cast as well. i didn’t expect to laugh as much as i did. AND the sword-fighting!!!! so good.

just overall a really solid production and if you’re nearby you should definitely try to see it while you can :)

Luke Thallon has the face of a WWI soldier sharing intricate rituals with his fellow soldier (affectionate)

I just saw Hamlet set on the Titanic at the RSC. The set is amazing. The stage is a ship that rises and falls with the waves and gets progressively steeper as the action gets tenser. The ensemble dance on the deck to begin with first class style and end up clinging to the risen deck as the waves get bigger. There are lots of trapdoors on the deck that get used for bringing props like chairs into the deck or for actors to enter the stage. It’s a delightful build.

I went mainly for Jared Harris as Claudius and I wasn’t disappointed. Luke Thallon plays Hamlet, he’s done a fair bit of theatre but not much else. He’s a name to watch for though given this performance.

I’ve already booked to see it again anyway and my teenager wants to go again so I guess I’ll be seeing it 4 times.

It was a lovely sunny day in Stratford too so a very nice day out.

'...Present Laughter

Also recently added to NT At Home is a Noël Coward revival driven by Andrew Scott’s luminously large-scale performance as the preening actor Garry Essendine. He is panache incarnate in an Old Vic production with added hints of bisexuality and tremendous supporting turns from, among others, Indira Varma, Sophie Thompson and (soon to be the RSC’s new Hamlet) Luke Thallon. ntathome.com...'

On a high once again after watching this for the second time. And I even let hubby come and watch it with me as he was still recovering from his heart attack the first time I saw it (out of danger and in the hands of brilliant doctors, I hasten to add, but still recovering - in case anyone thinks I was a horrible wife for leaving him to go watch my fave 🤣)

Needless to say he really enjoyed it too and was talking about it all the way home (and if he was to develop a lil man crush on Andrew too which I suspect he might have it wouldn’t be the worse thing! 🤭)

Ofc I loved it even more this time around and it was even more special and hilarious because an older guy in the same row as us was laughing so hard throughout it - one of those types of laugh that sets you off in fits too 😂 😂 Absolutely MARVELLOUS darlings!! 🤩

Luke Thallon is probably the best Hamlet I've ever seen. What an actor!

Worse Things Happen At Sea

HAMLET Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Thursday 27t February 2025 Rupert Goold returns to the RSC to direct his new production of the world’s most famous play.  He sets it on a ship, the stage becoming a huge tilting deck, but is it all at sea, or not all at sea?  That is the question. The period is 1912.  This is Titanic without the iceberg.  Digital clocks count off the…

Rsc Hamlet cast sketches

you may not know this about me but I am actually truly and sincerely such an asshole about Hamlet. I am sitting in the theatre with my arms crossed. I am shaking my head, I am making my disapproval known. I am standing up for the ensemble and sitting back down for the lead. I am not only doing that but I cannot be stopped but to do that.
