Hamlet in Pieces: Shakespeare Revisited by Peter Brook, Robert Lepage and Robert Wilson

by Andy Lavender

Within the space of a year, between 1995 and 1996, three highly unusual shows were produced by three celebrated figures in world theatre: Qui Est La, directed by Peter Brook, Elsinore, directed by Robert Lepage, and Hamlet: a monologue, directed by Robert Wilson. Each was a version-at least in part-of Shakespeare's Hamlet, although none of them treated the show in anything like an orthodox manner.

Read this for Hamlet seminar.

I enjoyed learning about these three playwrights, seeing as their works are so fascinating. Wilson in particular won me over. However, this book was a little difficult to read/understand simply because it is very hard to visualize the plays written about.
