Bard’s greatest tragedies for Playhouse
Think Theatre will present Hamlet and Othello in 2017.
RENOWNED for its teaching-aid productions of Shakespeare set works for matric school learners, Think Theatre, in association with The Playhouse Company, presents two of The Bard’s greatest tragedies in 2017 – a new staging of Hamlet, and a revival of the company’s widely acclaimed Othello.
These two plays, which are among the most celebrated of all human dramas ever to be created for the English stage, will run in tandem with successive seasons in Hilton and Durban in February and March, also touring to a number of country venues in KwaZulu-Natal, during this period.
Hamlet and Othello will be staged at the Playhouse Drama Theatre in Durban between 13 February and 24 March, with schools performances in each venue from Mondays to Fridays at 9am and noon daily. A public evening performance of Hamlet will be given at the Playhouse in Durban on Wednesday 1 March at 7pm. Tickets for this are R120 (adults) with concessions available for students and pensioners.
Supported by The University of Johannesburg, Think Theatre’s Hamlet and Othello are two invaluable teaching tools with dynamic performance, both educational and entertainment, and are not to be missed.
Pre-bookings are essential. All bookings for Think Theatre’s national tour are through Doreen Stanley on 033 343 4884 or 084 556 0668 or email doreen@thinktheatre.co.za.
