Hamlet the Ballet

I went this afternoon to the performance of Hamlet by the Northern Ballet at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. It was fantastic! Really fantastic and atmospheric.

It wasn't very 'Hamlet', for example, Ophelia was raped and murdered, and it was set in Occupied Paris, but it was so tense, so vivid and you could see all the themes that are in the Shakespeare Play.

And I think I may have fallen in love with Ballet. I have seen Dracula the Ballet and it was fantastic, but this has made me want to see more. I am just so admiring of the dancers, how fit and toned they are and just how amazing they were as they danced.

I recommend it!
