On Friday night, we went to see Hamlet at the Folger Shakespeare Library. It was actually my first time at the Library, though I've passed it often. It was a great show--Shakespeare done in 1950s attire, which made for some incredibly costumes.
The Washington Post gave it a lousy review. Yes, while the set was Ikea white bland, I thought the actors were energized and engaging, and they gave life to some of the witty phrases and memorable lines of the play.
Granted, the play itself may have been greater than the sum of its parts. But we enjoyed it.
