HAUNTING PERFORMANCE OF SHAKESPEARE’S ‘HAMLET’

The DIY Drama Company performed Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ at the Performing Arts Centre in March. The company comprises Drama Scholars from Years Seven to the Upper Sixth who work together, led by Director of Drama, Mrs Jilly Witcomb, to bring the script to the stage. The entire process, including costume, set design, make-up, stage management, lighting and sound, marketing and production of a programme, is led by the cast members, who also acted in the play.

The production was an immersive experience for the audience with a chorus of hissing spirits surrounding them. The ensemble cast exuded sinister menace in what was a very dramatic performance.
