Bard is brilliant

At Fluellen Theatre

Fluellen Theatre- Hamlet , Arts Wing Swansea Grand , November 16, 2010
At Fluellen Theatre by Fluellen Theatre- Hamlet TO go or not to go that was the question…I have never been a particularly big fan of Shakespeare but I do like the work produced by Fluellen Theatre Company.

Their latest offering, Hamlet playing in the Swansea Grand's Arts Wing, was simply superb. With a strong cast headed by Huw Richards, in a truly magnificent performance as our hero, or anti-hero, under the directorship of Peter Richards, this production will rank as one of Fluellen's great productions. Some inspired casting with popular entertainer Kevin Johns making his Shakespearean debut as one of the gravediggers brought some neat comic touches to the role and probably helped ease some of the building tension as the familiar tale unfolded to its tragic climax.

A strong supporting cast included George Andrews, David Dooley, Christopher Hale, Robert Hopkins, Eloise Howe, Miranda Roszkowski, and James Scannell made this a memorable production. The Bard at its best.
