Hamlet

Synopsis: Video recording, using a single, fixed camera, of Tiny Ninja Theatre’s Hamlet. The production uses video projections and visual gimmicks to dramatise the story: Ophelia drowns in a glass of water; the ghost appears as an enormous mouth holding a black-clad Ninja Hamlet between his jaws. Not all the cast are Ninjas: Gertrude and Claudius are played by grinning dime-store figurines.
