Taking Hamlet to Stratford..

Is this the best case of coals to Newcastle?!  Melting Pot is delighted, nay, overjoyed to announce that we shall be bringing Hamlet to the Dirty Duck in Stratford, on Sunday July 22nd at 4pm.  And we are performing outside on the beautiful garden terrace.  We decided on the 4pm start to enable folk to enjoy the town and river, have a spot of lunch before getting a drink in and settling down for a trip to Elsinore.  Tickets are £5 and available on the door.  We are also in high-powered talks (well, not that high-powered!) to bring Hamlet to the Station in Kings Heath in July - dates to be finalised.  We love performing this production so much and want as many people as possible to see it, to share our excitement and infatuation with the text and action.  Forgive the exuberance!  but I am excited...

The interesting part starts here..we have two new venues to which we have to adapt the staging (although we have already adapted it to three venues) and then we have to make sure we all remember the lines and moves....it's like riding a bike, isnt it?  mmmnm, perhaps a penny farthing, in full crinolines, in high summer...! It is going to be fun to see if our month 'off' will have subtly altered anyone's interpretation.  Come and join us, lets keep it rolling on.....!!
