Danespotting
- Synopsis
- Danespotting opened as a fringe stage production at the Montreal Festival 1997. In an interview MacFadzean explained ‘It’s a sort of Hamlet meets TRAINSPOTTING, remaining true to Shakespeare but with a modern spin. We started out to write a story about Hamlet and Ophelia because these are characters who are very true and dear to us. Then we made connections between more modern lovers like Sid and Nancy’. A two-minute clip, Hamlet and Ophelia, can be downloaded from the Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare website.
