I had the privilege of attending Opening night , at The New Fourtune Theatre, of Shakespeare's Hamlet.Amongst the occasional flash of lightning the setting is in the traditional Elizabethan style and is , for want of a better word, outside.

For those of you intending to go, rest assured seating is provided.

For those of you who are not aware, this is being Directed by Grant Malcolm.

I am a fan of Shakespeare and in particular of Hamlet. I was particularly impressed with David Meadows portrayal of Hamlet he certainly is a fine actor.

My only comment in a vaguely negative way would be the interpritation of Gertrude. She is a little harsher/stronger than I am used to.

Apart from a few fumblings with lines that only a Shakespeare buff would have noticed , I believe the performance is certainly well worth seeing.I highly recommend it
