 | I saw the play last night.This magnificent production is what makes theatre going worthwhile.They have taken a pretty damn good play and improved upon it bigtime. The cast are highly quality with Dominic Rowan giving a brilliant performance. If the WOS reviewer found it full of "incomprehensible jabbering" I suggest he concentrates a little more on what he is watching. Please do not be put off by his review. - Bazza | 10 Nov 09 |

| I completely disagree! I loved this show and so did all my classmates. It really brought the story to life and added lots of interesting visuals. Not boring at all, especally the murders and things which very impressive close up. - Sian | 27 Oct 09 |
| I genuinely came to this show with some trepidation. And the first act is quite plot heavy. But the show is worth seeing. The text is clear and I am now fascinated with just how much Shakespeare took from this play - the ghost, the play within the play and the idea that revenge for a lost one can drive you insane. You see Hamlet, Titus Andronicus, MacBeth. You imagine how Kyd may have inspired his contemporaries. I think this review is very harsh. The acting was superb and more importantly, it was very understandable. The audio visual work and puppetry were excellent ways of making the story clearer. - Marcus | 22 Oct 09 |
