The first review

Sniff...honnnkk...here comes the first ever serious post.(Those who whistle get a cookie)

I saw "The cut of Hamlet", an evam production this weekend. The first half had a cast loaded with potential, but the script by itself was a little strange. Sure, it had its funny moments, but after a while, all I was doing was waiting for the occasional joke so that I could guffaw in relief.

The second half was a spoof on Hamlet, and with the traditional Evam trio, started out looking quite promising. They definitely had our attention, and the script was clever. But it was like the comedian before Pink Floyd, only the band never turned up. They seemed to be heading in the pantomime direction, but after all the interaction with the audience during the first half, the magic didnt really work. I do remember laughing quite a bit, but repeating the same performance three(i think) times kinda wore the audience out.

All in all, it was a decent enough spoof, but nothing extraordinary about it. A far throw from their usual productions. Oh well, you gotta have variety right.
