Directors Note:

"The work is a bit of “madness” inspired by William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. A philosophically physical tangle on the mystery of our human experience. The impossibility of certainty, the complexity of action, the disease of inaction, the mystery of love, life and death and our relentless search for some kind of "truth". The work is nopt a retelling of the original narrative or a linear exploration of its characters. Instead it is an essay on our personal responses and interaction with the text, its themes, motifs ad symbols throught the lens of our contemporary experience azs individuals and artists. As contemporary artists I believe it is essential and unavoidable to look deeply and constantly at pressing social and personal issues. Hamlets pre-occupation with death and suicide, his desperation with trying to forge his future, his need to change his world and his endless existential probing speaks directly  to very contemporary personal, social and political issues. As always I find it impossible to avoid thinking around HIV and AIDS and Hamlet provides and opportunity to interrogate the psychological impacts of the disease on our experience." PJ Sabbagha
