Hamlet- The Clown Prince Directed by Rajat Kapoor

Finally, i get it. I get theater. The theater workshops, rehearsing for a play and even performing in a play, i never really got the essence of it..but after watching Hamlet in Rangashankara in its new avatar, a brain child of Rajat Kapoor, i understand why theater is known as (quoting Raghav’s words) The Art of Storytelling.
I don’t watch a lot of plays, and this was my first time to Rangashankara too. Honestly, i am too inexperienced and illetrate to even have the courage to attempt to write a review of this..All i can say is that i felt it..i felt the story..The laughs and the tearful moments, man i am getting emo.
I obviously don’t have to even comment on the acting, the costumes, the choreography, the writing or the direction because i can’t imagine it any other way..it was just perfect.
Some moments, during the play, the lead actor Atul Kapoor just looked into my eyes and literally i could feel what he was feeling..now that’s something i one day dream i will be able to with my acting or directing..i have a long way to go.
