Hamlet roulette, 22
Fantastic performance tonight! (previous posts about Hamlet roulette) (chronologically)
Cathleen is still injured, so she played the ghost and gravedigger again, and Megan wasn’t there this time, so Caleb (the understudy) played Laertes..
- El Beh played Claudius and Rosencrantz
- Caleb Cabrera played Laertes (not randomised)
- Kevin Clarke played Hamlet
- Nick Medina played Polonius, the priest, and Osric
- Cathleen Riddley played the ghost and gravedigger (not randomised)
- David Sinaiko played Gertrude and Guildenstern
- Beth Wilmurt played Ophelia and Horatio
Several actors played roles they had done recently, which may have given them extra confidence.
How many are in the audience, typically?
Also, headcanon: there will come a performance when multiple people are out. The director will approach you moments before the show, desperate, to ask if you know the parts, and like Gwyneth in Shakespeare in Love you’ll respond, “Every word.”
Since it’s my headcanon there will also be a bit at the end with Colin Firth and Judi Dench.
