Last night I saw the most amazing production of Hamlet. It wasn't traditional by any means, Hamlet pick up the to be or not to be speech off the ground and threw it away. All of the charaters were fabulous Gertrude, Hamlets mom, was truely in love with Cladio, uncle, Polonious was played comical and Ophelia unfold from simple to deep and loving. The whole thing was enthrawling and while I couldn't follow what they were saying I could feel it in my soul.
The last two scenes were so moving. After the death of Ophelia right before the duel between Laertes and Hamlet, Ophelia comes back as a ghost and her and Hamlet have a beautiful converstation. You see that he truley does love her and her death plagues him. That is something that has always been lacking in productions for me the love between Hamlet and Ophelia. Ophelia herslef is such a weak charater but the love between her and Hamlet developed her so much more as a person and made him more human it was beautiful.
