Media Release

A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It is a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they are good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they have found a bunny in the movie theatre. However, this is no ordinary rabbit … this is the extraordinary Bunnicula. When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what is causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Or maybe Chester’s imagination is getting the better of him. Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.

Hamlet is regarded as one of Shakespeare’s most powerful tragedies. The play is set in Denmark where Prince Hamlet is duty-bound to take revenge on his uncle, Claudius, for cunningly killing his father and marrying his mother. Claudius, fearful of Hamlet’s intent, manipulates Laertes, son of Polonius whom Hamlet killed, into a lethal fencing match with Hamlet.

 

This modernised version of the classic tale demonstrates the universality of Shakespeare’s stories, themes and characters, still relevant today, centuries after they were created. Hamlet is filled with treachery, revenge, spying and the much debated madness. Not only does Hamlet struggle with his father’s death/murder and his mother’s hasty marriage, but he also struggles with who he is, his relationships with the people in his life, and his duty towards himself versus his duty to the state and expectations placed on him. Thís Hamlet is not only a masterpiece about a prince’s revenge, or a “document in madness”; but is more focused on the tragic tale of a man on the crooked path of self-discovery and self-acceptance. 

 

Directed by Thys Heydenrych and Peter Taljaard.  With Marli van der Bijl as Ophelia, CW Laten as Horatio, Michelle Hoffman as Queen Gertrude, Charl Henning as Laertes, Nic Beukes as Polonius and Thys Heydenrych and Peter Taljaard as Hamlet and Claudius.
