Theatre play in Italian - AMLETO A PRANZO E A CENA

Shakespeare’s masterpiece still manages today to speak to us about ourselves, to capture our hearts and to give voice to our everyday lives. The curtain rises on a small, ramshackle theatre company where, amidst envy and jealousy, the cast attempts to stage Hamlet. Amidst quarrels and complicity, the actors exchange advice that is not entirely selfless, allowing poisonous family entanglements to surface. Whilst for many people Hamlet is merely a figure who, skull in hand and gaze fixed on nothing, repeats his ‘to be or not to be’ – the emblem of a theatre as tedious as it is detached from reality – *Hamlet for Lunch and Dinner* allows us to experience first-hand how Shakespeare’s theatre can provide us with highly effective tools for interpreting the times in which we live.

Based on *Hamlet* by William Shakespeare.

Written and performed by Oscar De Summa.
