Additional Blog for Play

I enjoyed the Lantern Theater's version of Hamlet because of the enthusiasm that the actors/actresses had. I'm not much of a reader, especially in terms of Shakespeare so watching the play helped me to follow along better and gather a better understanding. It was hard for me to read the play because I kept finding myself losing concentration and not following along. This resulted in me having some confusion about the play. The man who played Hamlet was awesome. The energy he had kept me involved and excited. He never once lost energy or bored me. Also, Ophelia was an interesting character to me as well. I think it seemed very hard to portray someone who has lost sanity, but she was very well at it. Both her and Hamlet were very interesting characters throughout the entire play. The admiration that they have for Shakespeare was clear to the audience. The director must've had no problem casting those parts.
