When Hamlet pulls down Gertrude's skirt to let go of his anger, you know it's going to be a ball of a time.
There as thousands of reasons to absolutely adore this delightful interpretation of Shakespeare's epic tragedy. One, it has clowns. Two, it has amazing actors who play the clowns. Three, It's so darn funny!
From Figo going "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to Laetres and Hamlet comically slipping in the duel, this play has it all. Lighting, absolutely impeccable. Props, a bare minimum. The little minutia in the background, the impressive use of stage space, and the audience interactions are the USPs of this immaculate comedy. There are a few places where one can uncomfortably squirm in his chair (especially if he's watching with his parents) but all the frenzy just adds to the fun! The audience was in splits the entire time!
Profanity aside, Hamlet - The Clown Prince is really well written, and it utterly deserves its numerous accolades. It was Ninety minutes to adore and cherish for all Coimbatoreans.
Amazingly spectacular would be an understatement.
