KUPENGA KWA HAMLET
Two Gents gave us an unforgettable, hilarious, stripped-down Township version of Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona two years ago. Now they’re back with Hamlet. In the twilight of a pre-colonial Zimbabwe, a world of unyielding beliefs and ritual, where the afterlife and the present co-exist, Hamlet, a tribal prince, returns home to find his father murdered, his mother incoherent and a new, dangerous chief in power. As the corpses mount, who buries who, and what danger is lurking in the wings of this small kingdom ? Two actors, two props and the convergence of two cultures are all it takes to create an urgent, spiritual re-imagining of the rarely seen First Quarto of Shakespeare’s classic.
