US Premiere of award winning and critically acclaimed solo tour de
force performed by Raoul Bhaneja and directed by NYC rising star
Robert Ross Parker of Vampire Cowboys Theatre. This 17 character
international touring hit was developed over seven years including a
residency at Shakepeare’s Globe U.K. under the guidance of Mark
Rylance. It was presented at The Assembly Rooms as part of the 2007
Edinburgh Fringe, winner of the Montreal English Critics Award for
Best Touring Production and was the subject of a one hour BRAVO!
documentary featuring interviews with many of the great living
Hamlets including Colm Feore, Brent Carver, John Neville, Kenneth
Welsh, Ben Carlson and Christopher Plummer. Hamlet (solo) has also
been presented at a number of centers of acting study including a
rare invite in October 2007 to The John Gielgud Studio at The Royal
Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
“5/5 Stars…Almost before he can take a bow his audience have leaped
from their seats in a standing ovation.”
THE LIST (UK)
“A MUST SEE… Bhaneja is a superb speaker of Shakespearean
verse…This is a production of Hamlet that many full companies could
envy for its speed, clarity and theatricality.”
THE STAGE (UK)
“An extraordinary inter pretation that allows the great play to
speak for itself.”
THE MONTREAL GAZETTE
“Shakespeare, dead all these centuries, lives again!”
THE HALIFAX CHRONICLE HERALD
“Bhaneja engages in urgent, energetic storytelling. The athleticism
required to memorize and deliver 15,000 words of script is itself
exhilarating to watch.”
