Hamlet (2) Globe to Globe in Rwanda


Actor Naeem Hayat reflects on what it was like to be part of the audience in Butare, Rwanda where the play needed to have a sudden move of venue.

The scene with Yorick, for example, when the gravedigger brings out the skull, the human skull means something totally different in Rwanda than it does to us. For me, there was a definite moment, a palpable moment of recognizing that.
