Review: HAMLET, Starring Luke Thallon
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 23, 2025
What do Shakespeare and James Cameron have in common? Before Rupert Goold took hold of the Bard’s tragic masterpiece, the answer would have been ‘nothing’. The soon-to-be artistic director of the Old Vic returns to the Royal Shakespeare Company after 14 years to offer a blockbuster Hamlet. Elsinore becomes a royal battleship and everything happens in less than one night in April 1912. Goold makes some daring choices, placing a lot of faith in his public and letting them interpret and assume certain twists in his vision.

Interview: 'It's Irritating To Be Suddenly Old and Wise': Actor Elliot Levey on Playing Polonius in HAMLET
by Kat Mokrynski - Feb 8, 2025
A new production of Hamlet is arriving at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Directed by Rupert Goold and starring Luke Thallon in the titular role, the play, which is being described as “high concept,” promises to bring a new take to the iconic story. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Elliot Levey, who plays Polonius, the father of Ophelia and Laertes. We discussed how Shakespeare has been a part of his acting career since he first auditioned for the National Youth Theatre, how one should treat the work of Shakespeare and even how he connects with Polonius as a father himself!
