SYNOPSIS
“This play is a search in the world of Hamlet through the eyes of clowns. The clown has fascinated me for many years and this motif appears again and again in all my work including my film work. It is through the eyes of a clown that I wanted to explore the vast world of Hamlet. The result is a comic way in which the actors have improvised the various parts of the play and yet touched upon the tragedy of the young prince”. - Rajat Kapoor (Director)
Hamlet Deconstructed!
A bunch of clowns are putting up Shakespeare’s classic play, Hamlet. They sometimes misinterpret the text, sometimes find new meanings in it, sometimes try to understand it and very often make a mess of it.
They use some phrases from Shakespeare’s original piece and mixed it with gibberish. They even edit the text, throw out some important scenes, and make a mess of the order of things as if the pages got mixed up. In essence, the clowns interpret this classic play in their own way.
Hamlet – The Clown Prince won the Best Play, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Costume Design awards at this year’s Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards held in New Delhi.
Language: English & Gibberish with no surtitles
