A recording of Peter Brook’s "THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET" performed the Bouffes du Nord Theatre in Paris with Adrian Lester in the title role.. A production of the work stripped of what Brook refers to as ‘the unessential’ to focus on the myth at the heart of the play. The production is simply staged on a rectangle of red-orange cloth with only a couple of benches and a scattering of multi-coloured cushions, accompanied by a haunting soundscape ranging from muffled bells to birds in flight. Speeches and scenes are reassigned and roles are frequently doubled or tripled.

The Role is about a brilliant actor in revolutionary Russia who takes on the greatest role of his life - the role of another man. Influenced by the ideas of symbolism and the Silver Age, he decides to slip into the life of his doppelganger – a revolutionary leader in the new Soviet Russia. First intrigued, then obsessed, he flings himself into the role and lives it to the hilt… even when the play of the life he is writing heads towards a tragic finale. Based on true incidents in the lives of Russia’s symbolists, this gripping film explores how far one man will go for the role of a lifetime.

Genre: Opera, Musical

Neil Armfield's production of this near-perfect opera reminds us why we have performing arts. To be touched, to be dazzled, to be moved to tears of joy, despair and recognition. We seek connection and catharsis; to be part of an emotional and intellectual discourse; to be privy to the play of ideas.
