I agree this trailer makes it look like a B-grade TV movie version of Hamlet. Making a movie trailer style from a theater production just doesn't work. The performances are meant to be seen from a distance, up close they look too over the top.
I'm still looking forward to seeing it on May 27th!
I agree with mcandjo. The performance is MUCH better than this trailer. It is a nice try, however, to do "multi-media" publicity for theater. C+ at best for the trailer, A- for the play.
This trailer does not do the performance justice. I have seen the production & will see it again. This trailer, with crazy music & short takes of scenes, scares me. If I saw the trailer, before having seen the production, I would have chose not to go.
What I like about this production is there seems to be an honest attempt to give the audience Shakespeare. Once you get use to the set & costumes they disappear, and you are left to focus on the tragedy playing out before you.
