PIOTR KONDRAT: HAMLET

Performed by: Piotr Kondrat (PL)

In this production, the excellent Polish actor, Piotr Kondrat plays the part of Hamlet in a spectacular one-person play. Kondrat excellently uses the opportunities provided by the space. Regardless of whether he plays anywhere round the castle, on the walls or in front of an altar, his deep baritone voice and his acrobatic motion fascinate the audience.

The spectators will witness how Hamlet invokes the spirits of those people who he loved and the spirits of those people who he hated in his life. Expressing the doubts inherent in his personality, the phantoms in his imagination. He reveals the secret pain of his delicate soul, which was caused by the failure to revenge his father’s murder and by the loss of his mother. Presenting how he became a misanthrope, how the former classmates became spies, how Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were thwarted, how love was refused and how he got to the famous finding: “The time is out of joint”

Directed by: Max Webster

On the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, the most broadly influential creator of the theatre history and the drama is commemorated with special events. The Globe Theatre from London has started an international tour on this occasion. The play directed by Max Webster was first presented in London on April 11th and it had a great success. The company arrives in Gyula as a part of their tour through Germany and Austria. This production presented with the great performance of actors, a lot of music and humour has been graded as a five-star performance by many critics. Max Webster is a talented young director, whose works have been recognised by the audience as well as the professional press. His latest direction, the comedy “Much ado About Nothing” is eagerly awaited by the critics and the audience.

Claudio loves Hero, Hero loves Claudio and seemingly nothing can rive the lovers from each other. Claudio’s friend, Benedetto loves Beatrice and Beatrice loves Benedetto, too, but they are too proud to admit it to each other. Only the intrigues and the plots can bring the two lovers together. Benedetto can only prove Beatrice his true love by killing his friend. Shakespeare’s wittiest; most enchanting and most lovable couple can be seen in this comedy. This piece of work is full of love, plots, trickeries and brilliant word fights.
