Review
Conflict of the older and younger generation in the era of rock and roll.
Prince Hamlet will desperately dance with Ophelia and play on the trumpet.
His friends and buddies will perform incendiary melodies on cello, accordion, percussion and keyboards.
The classic story of the sufferings and heartaches of the Danish prince was transformed into a modern tragic fare, bright, poignant, funny.
From the sharp movements of each of the young actors it is impossible to tear off the eye. They move like professional dancers, but they play like wonderful actors of the drama theater. Many still sing beautifully!
Shakespeare's famous story is supplemented by an interesting role of himself and the role of one of the best translators of Hamlet in Russian - the poet Boris Pasternak. Not without a ghost.
The music in this wonderful play is no less important than the brilliant text of the brilliant playwright.
“ I liked it very much. Thank you. We are waiting for the Prime Minister!
