OSCAR REDDING AND RICHARD PYROS SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STREETS OF MELBOURNE… Poor Theatre’s cinematic adaptation of its acclaimed stage production of Hamlet played to sell-out crowds at the 2007 Melbourne International Film Festival. In 2008, the Tower Theatre is converted into a boutique cinema for an exclusive season of screenings. Taken from the walls of Elsinore, this is a tragedy that shivers under the neon glare of Bourke Street billboards, a restless drama that races through the streets of our city. The Bard’s prose echoes in the subways of the CBD, permeates the flocked wallpaper of exclusive hotel rooms and sets alight the sands of St Kilda beach. Like Denmark’s Dogme film movement, this Hamlet abandons convention to focus on the bleeding essence of its source material – a young man driven to the brink of insanity by outrageous fortune. Here, his only friend, Horatio becomes a hand-puppet, his only hope, a revenge as absurd as it is inevitable. "Redding has achieved something spectacular: he has created… an interpretation so radical and emotionally searing that it redefines the role…" Alison Croggon, The Australian Other Season One ‘08 shows Find out more Meet the artists: Time to Talk Ticket and session information SESSION TIMES TICKET PRICES Malthouse Education Teachers can make discounted bookings for their students to all Malthouse theatre season shows.
