This program shows 2 different versions of key scenes from Hamlet being performed by Damien Ryan and Bernadette Millar as directed by respected theatre director, Shakespeare Scholar David Ritchie. This program complements Shakespeare: Breathing Life into Text, but is also useful as a stand alone program for students of Drama. The key scenes performed are Act III Scene i and Act III Scene iv, or more commonly referred to as the "Get thee to a nunnery scene" and the "Gertrude's closet scene". In both scenes, David Ritchie presents, a standard version, but also an adventurous interpretation of the text. An excellent program for students of Drama as well as students of Shakespeare texts.
