"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio - a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy."
But long it could not be till that her garments, heavy with their drink, pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay to muddy death.”
“O, speak to me no more; These words, like daggers, enter in mine ears; No more, sweet Hamlet!”
“Now might I do it pat, now he is praying; And now I'll do't. And so he goes to heaven; And so am I revenged.”
The maquette
“Fare thee well at once! The glow-worm shows the matin to be near, And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire: Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me.”
"Goodnight, sweet Prince, and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
“I am thy father's spirit, Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night”

Hamlet

by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

 

"Something's rotten in the state of Denmark..."

I based this set on Hamlet's conflicted psyche. I tried to mirror his paranoia in the crumbling walls, and uneven asymmetrical set design. I wanted the lighting to be dark and cold to reflect his sense of isolation, cuttng himself off from the world. Most of the light came from the sides, rather than the front, to further enhance the feeling of isolation.
