After the critical and commercial success of ‘View From The Bridge’ it is the turn of ‘Hamlet’ (Main House) and ‘The Indian Boy’ (Ron Barber Studio) next up for the Crescent Theatre shows. I got in to see the first run through for the beguiling ‘Indian Boy’ by Rona Munro the other night. Click on the picture for more rehearsal images.

Hamlet in rehearsal

Pete Smith as Hamlet

One of the great things about recording rehearsals at the theatre is that I get a bit of a sneak preview of a work in progress and from yesterdays evidence Hamlet is definitely going to be worth the anticipation. What was also great to see was how the whole cast were really enjoying exploring the text and working with each other - there was a really good company feel in the rehearsal room. Really looking forward to opening night.
