Hamlet. Bastardized. An Orphan is prompted by his father’s ghost to avenge his mysterious death which quixotically resulted in a very large life insurance payout to his widow and her new husband, who just so happens to be the world’s most renowned and esteemed psychoanalyst and supporter of conversion therapy. But there’s also a clown and it’s fun. And most important - will the Orphan finally answer life’s biggest question: To be or not to be QUEER? A one-man play, all in verse and based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, bastardized.

​

Created, directed, and produced by Matthew Dunlop. Songs by Ato Blankson-Wood. Score by Serena Ebony Williams​

​Fantastic Vehicles (4 Decay). Bastardised but not vandalised, @ProjektAntihero reimagines Hamlet with a superb performance from Matthew Dunlop. Relocating us to mansion/psych ward, Elsewhere Manor, this genuinely fresh take is clever and compelling, albeit confusing at times. 4/5 - Fringe Biscuit
