HAMLET (2003)

Ishwar Maharaj as Player Villian


“The best bits are the foot-tapping drinking songs and the only notable scene, The Players panto.”

“The banquet, in which The Players, (Toby Sedgewick, Clive Mendus and Ishwar Maharaj), perform the murder of Gonzago in pantomime [is] both funny and creepy.”



Ishwar Maharaj as Player Villian


‘There is little that is visually striking in the production, the chief exception is the play scene, where the players' dumb show - in which they are in effect acting out the murder of Hamlet's father - casts monstrous shadows over the perpetrators sitting behind’.

But he also represents a sacrificial victim. At the end of part 2, after the assassination, he is buried only to be reborn with a tree at the opening of part 3.'
