Bouncy Castle Hamlet Rehearsal

This is part of an early rehearsal from the Strolling Theatricals production of Bouncy Castle Hamlet at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe - the first time a Shakespeare play was ever performed entirely on a Bouncy Castle!!!

The actual performance in Edinburgh was quite different to this - different bouncy castle and everything. This clip is made funnier by the fact that the sound was dubbed on seperately.

Here's the blurb from the Edinburgh show:

Bouncy Castle Hamlet
Hamlet was published in 1603. Bouncy castles were invented in 1961. Somehow, they had been kept apart... until now. At last, Hamlet performed entirely on a bouncy castle. Ghosts! Pirates! Shakespeare! Jumping! What could possibly be better?


Here's a link to the sound recording that it goes with:
