Shakespeare’s Danish Play – Ottawa Citizen Review
18.02.10Are plays about dysfunctional actors in hopeless productions this season’s unstated theme at The Gladstone?
In September we had Noises Off, the British farce about a misfiring theatre company mired in an ever-worsening production. December saw the hilarious The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of A Christmas Carol, a play about a community theatre gang so inept that, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, it was a wonder they still knew how to breathe. Now, we have Shakespeare’s Danish Play, a reasonably successful show by A Company of Fools about a five-member troupe and a doomed production of Hamlet.
