Ophelia, Princess of Denmark
Written by Frank Bramwell
ABOUT THE PLAY
Ophelia, Princess of Denmark is mad. And dead. And trapped in time with Hamlet and Claudius, who seem to have a little problem re-adjusting to their changed circumstances. A play that re-examines the themes and issues that Shakespeare raised in his original play - and some he didn't.

Reviews
“It stands as an imaginative, fairly free-wheeling response to the original, in which the delight exists in the exploration itself and in the spirit of invention.”
ReviewGate
“The relationships between Hamlet, Ophelia, Claudius and others, various, are taken apart and differently examined; the play put me in mind of the mathematical discipline of permutations and combinations. Debates within the play are both serious and playful.”
ReviewGate
“Sharp performances from the three actors. Rebecca Rogers creates with great naturalness; Ben Norris’s Hamlet has great charm.”
ReviewGate
“Beautiful script, full on; particularly enjoyed the second half and the action from all three came from total conviction, fast paced, clear and intense.”
