r not to be?” speech was nothing like I had expected.The set that Hamlet was played on was a very simple; on its edges it had two kind of curtanoffed closet looking things. In the back of it there were 2 huge doors, which opened in the middle of the stage. On stage right there was a raised platform about 5-6feet off of the floor with concrete steps going up to it. This stage was simple yet there where places on it for all the scenes to be acted out clearly and the set made some of the scenes easier to understand, in the use of the many different parts of the set.Seeing Hamlet live is much better than just reading the book, if and ONLY if you have read the book and you go see it. I have read Hamlet and seen the play and all the scenes made much more sense. Also they where all much more vivid than when I was reading the book. When you just read a book, your mind is left to interperate what the scene looked like and what exactly was going on at the time. When you see the play live you actually get to see what the atmosphere during the scene is and what is going on around the characters at the present time. If you are going to go see Hamlet live. I recommend that you read at least some of the play so you know the general gist of what is going on during the story and what all the characters are about. This way you will know the basics already and when you see a part in the play that nobody else knows you can say “Hey!!!!!!!!! I know that. I read about it in act 3!!!!!!!!!”...
