I’m not usually a fan of rushing Shakespeare, even for comedy – not because the text is deserving of reverence and contemplation (though it is), but because there’s so much packed into the language. Of course, careful editing is often helpful for 21st century audiences, but slashing a three hour play to fifteen minutes must be missing something, surely?

Undeterred by protesting purists, Peter Goers has done just that. The man himself narrates the story, his six-strong, multi-role troupe spinning us between famous soliloquies, sword fights, and melodramatic deaths. The beauty of playing more than one character in a Shakespearean tragedy is that you get to die more than once, and the woman who plays Ophelia (amongst others) makes the most of this: I’m not sure if it’s her or the audience who gets the most pleasure from every grunt, scream, and contortion as she goes.
