Summary
A restless ghost demands revenge for his unjust murder. A king seizes the throne but his power is built on lies. A mother begs her raging child to cease tormenting her. A daughter faces heartbreak after a sudden loss.
Denmark is a prison for young Hamlet, heir to the Danish throne. Injustice flourishes at home and abroad and the world seems broken beyond repair. In these dangerously heightened times truth is a tragic burden and trust is hard to find. Will Hamlet triumph over fear and fury?

The Set
The idea for the set in this production was for the floor to look like a large sheet of ice with nothing below. To achieve this effect i worked closely with the designer. It was decided that we would use the lexan sheets that came from Middletown, earlier in the year, and appply an effect using beer and epsom salts. The floor square was held in place using a border frame of 6mm plywood cut down to strips, this along with the texture of the ice effect, created enough friction to hold the tiles in place. The other main part of the set were 4 door frames, the frames were positioned at the four corners of the set. They were then hinged into the floor and suspended from the catwalks using 4mm rated chord.

The Plan-
For this show the biggest problem faced was getting equal coverage across the three seating banks that were surrounding the set. To gain equal coverage we used all six of the KV2 ESD 12 Speakers that were available in the chandler stock. we set them out with two facing each of the seating banks. Once correctly focused this gave and equal coverage across the seating banks. The Desk was set up using 7 of the Yamaha QL5's 8 Matrix's to have individual control of each channel.
