'Goodnight, sweet prince': Horatio's farewell to his dying friend, with all around, a high onstage body count (from betrayals, double-crossings, stabbings, poisoned cups) against a backdrop of the night from which no traveller returns.
#WinchesterPlayers at #MinackTheatre
'Be the players ready?' Full house on a precipitous cliff's edge (in Cornwall rather than Elsinore) waiting for #WinchesterPlayers' night-watch (& the old king's ghost) to appear, at the start of #Hamlet in the unique #MinackTheatre.

We visited the extraordinary #MinackTheatre in #Cornwall last week to see an interesting take on Northanger Abbey by #JaneAusten. What a fabulous place it is! A very enjoyable experience altogether.
It going to be a lovely fine evening tonight at the #minacktheatre with sunset at 8:30 pm
See you by the sea for a special night.
