Hamlet at the Lantern Theater

Me and my fellow classmates last week went to go see the play Hamlet at the Lantern Theater. It gave me a way clearer understanding on the parts of Hamlet that confused me. It also gave me a different way to look at the parts of the play that i already understood.
Some of the Characters really matched the book characters in how they acted and were portrayed. Hamlet did a great job in getting his points across. Also by making the audience really feel the emotion he was feeling by how he acted and spoke. Some of the other characters for example, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, had costumes that were more modern time.
The girl that played Ophelia did a good job in making her seem insain and like she was going crazy. Even though the costume she was wearing dident really match the true play and what she would really wear, she made it beliveable that everything going on with Hamlet was making her break down.
It was unique in how the stage was set up and how their were so many entrances and exits.
Overall, it was good to see the play Hamlet and how the characters really helped us understand the meaning of what the play is about and how each character really acts.
