GENRE: Drama
Ophelia falls in love. Her world view realigns as she becomes infatuated, dreaming romantic visions of new landscapes and colour. Then he leaves. Deranged by rejection, Ophelia finds no choice but to end everything. Standing at the water’s edge, its darkness seems irresistible… and somehow utterly beautiful.
Hamlet’s Ophelia is brought into the 21st Century in this interactive one-woman show, scrutinising our world obsession with finding beauty in female tragedy.
ADVISORY: Adult themes with references to depression, suicide, self harm, emotional and psychological abuse. Audience participation.
Very sincere and heartfelt... beautiful writing.
