To be or not to be ... that is the question. I got a chance to take in the production of Hamlet at The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck on October 29th. It was a wonderful production, showing how Shakespeare is so timeless .. it was modern yet not so.
Lou Trapani directed and also had a small role. He did an excellent job with both. The show was edited down to a reasonable 2:15 running time but left the story with a exciting pace. The costumes and lighting was great, the set minimal yet so effective. The actors were all wonderful - a pleasure to watch in dialog or monologue.
It was a tragedy, of course, but had some beautiful moments. A production very well done.
