I think the most memorable Hamlet production I've seen is the one we went to in Budapest a few years ago, mostly because it was absolutely fucking unhinged. But the more interesting part is that the entire stage is made up of red stadium seats. Pictures cannot convey how imposing this scenery was, looming above the auditorium and forcing the spectators to look up. And this entire gimmick became incredible well embedded into the play, which was set in the modern times, but strayed from the original story very little. There was the play inside a play scene, where the actors were staring at us, and Hamlet's narration was the only indicator of what was happening. There is Polonius's murder, where he is very obviously crouching behind one of the rows, but Hamlet is too submerged in talking to the audience and berating Gertrude to notice him. There is the scene where Ophelia has gone mad and is dancing and singing, all while Gertrude, Claudius, and Laertes watches from the pews, until Laertes snaps and starts to desperately shake her by the shoulders. Laertes absolutely stole the show by the way (person between Gertrude and Claudius on the pictures), his performance was Excellent. And then there's the duel, which I Kid You Not, is not shown on stage. It is left out, and we are met with Horatio and Fortinbras sitting next to each other as Horatio tells him how it happened. In front of them are Hamlet and Laertes who say their lines, although halfheartedly, and occasionally clack their swords together, because Horatio's retelling is hollow and haunted with grief. At the very end, they carry in those skeletons and set them on a pile on the floor. It is unnecessarily extra and man I love it so much

The House of Bernarda Alba
by Alice Birch after Federico García Lorca a co-production with Playful Productions
16 November 2023 — 6 January 2024
Lyttelton Theatre, National Theatre, South Bank, London SE1 9PX
You bring such scandal to my house In the domain of Bernarda Alba, a daughter who disobeys is no longer a daughter. Forced to live under their mother’s tight grip as they mourn their father’s death, can five sisters survive when young Adela dares for passion and freedom? Olivier Award-winner Harriet Walter (Succession) plays the formidable matriarch, guarding her reputation against the rising tide of her family’s desires in this pitch-black drama exploring the consequences of oppressing women. Following Olivier Award-winning revivals of Cabaret and A Streetcar Named Desire, Rebecca Frecknall makes her directorial debut at the National Theatre with Alice Birch’s (Normal People) radical version of Federico García Lorca’s modern masterpiece.

reading A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen in class was kind of an awakening for me. like in the first act i was like "oooh i kinda relate to nora in a way wonder why that is" and then by the end i realized "oh wait it's because people have been treating me in an excessively patronizing way for so long to the point where i've come to expect it, unknowingly desire it, and even started to play into it and maybe i don't deserve that"
