Fra på Mandag begynder HamletScenen at opbygge den scene i Kronborgs Slotsgård, hvor fantastiske Schaubühne Berlin skal fremføre Hamlet fra d. 17. August og frem.
Australian Stage skrev bl.a.:
It is very, very true, “If you think you’ve seen Hamlet – it’s time to think again” because this production demands you think beyond what’s dreamt of in our philosophies – reach beyond your expectations and encounter a work which is dynamic and utterly enthralling.
Sydney Morning Herald var mere substantielle og bragte følgende lead-in til stykket:
Forget the conventional, movie star-handsome Danish prince who strides the castle walls of Elsinore. The Hamlet being served up by the Berlin Schaubuhne at the Sydney Festival is no romantic hero.
Rather, he is a disturbed, apoplectic and immature malcontent, bewildered as to whether and how to wreak vengeance against the corruption and treachery around him. Spattered in mud, twitching, cursing and thrashing ineffectually within the coils of indignation and paranoia, he finally succumbs to his own machinations and flaws, expiring messily, mad and none the wiser for all his exertions.
…
As Ostermeier points out, Hamlet’s Denmark is a kingdom at war when the play starts, a war that has been going on for some time.
”It’s a society of warriors,” says the director, thoughtfully stirring his coffee backstage at the Berlin Schaubuhne. ”And I’d say war is a good deal dirtier than the mud and little bit of blood we have on our stage. Don’t forget these were armed people, everybody was carrying a sword, and you could be killed far more easily than you can today. At the same time, they want to have fun and they are happy that they are still alive.” He smiles slowly, warming to his theme. ”You feel this in Shakespeare’s writing. It’s a society not completely civilised, something we also have today – society on the brink, like in the Balkans war, or in Rwanda or Afghanistan.”
My two cents:
Jeg har set min fair share af pussenussede engelske overklasseløg, som danser rundt og leger “prins med indre konflikt.” Det er på tide at give tyskerne en tur i manegen. Det lyder som om at de er klar til opgaven.
