Ohh Ophelia...
It was a normal day for me... I started the day with 73 years old joyful taxi deriver’s story which is about his ‘girl friend’ and their love... if his life written in to a play, it would be more interesting than the secret life of Ophelia. Anyhow, until I could buy the ticket I didn’t know the name of play. When I heard that title “the secret life of Ophelia” I start to imagine the play as if like there would be a huge playhouse and it would be like a cinema saloon and also too many actors.
However we entered to the play and i found a quite small place and close fitting down stage and 2 people. The stage was kind of plain place. After the entrance door closed, the actress start her action after hamlet came in to the stage. It was not what i expected in terms of time, stage design costume, size and number of character. Nevertheless music of the play was authentic and affecting the audiences.
Play was new version of the hamlet; I mean hamlet was the 21th century’s character. During play characters were sending letters and instant messages and sms. Moreover to this hamlet was using iPod and laptop to chat and to send message to his beloved love Ophelia. The story takes place in epistolary form, with little interaction between the infamous lovers (who are, in fact, the only characters). A successful play in which letters is the characters' only means of communication is a hard feat, and this attempt falls several feet too short.
Furthermore, language of the play was old classic English; therefore it was little bit difficult to catch up the characters. But play actors’ actions were fairly realistic and original. One the action of the hamlet was really hot and erotic. Actually most of the play’s dialogs were quite erotic and passionate. During the phone dialog of the two characters hamlet start to be horny and start to play his stuff. Ohh my dear God, audience became shock, especially females. Moreover he exactly used his hand to satisfy his desire and it was really realistic and funny. I enjoy during this phone dialog. Because whatever they do it was quite original.
I cannot say that it was not good, but i might say that during the play in five minutes i felt sleepy. For me it was a bit boring play, I think it is because the play was 2 persons on stage. If there would be more players and different scenes may be it would be more enjoyable. But at least we got another experience by watching this kind of play. Even if we are interested or not with such theaters i think that there is still something for everyone to pick up some experiences.
