SHAKESPEARE

Alternative title

Hamlet.net - Schueler Spielen Shakespeare Hamlet.net - Students Perform Shakespeare

Synopsis

The ‘TaGGs’ theatre group from the Goethe-Gymnasium (grammar school) in Schwerin, Germany, performs its own ensemble version of Hamlet. In this production Hamlet does not have a voice. His textual ‘absence’ gives the other characters the opportunity to clarify their position in what is presented to be an intricate world of power, duty and opportunism.
Directed for television by Peter Schoenhofer.
