The First Quarto version of Hamlet from 1604
Tristan will join a cast of 8 for a rehearsed reading of "The First Quarto" version of Hamlet with Creation Theatre Company in Oxford.
With Gertrude cast as Hamlet’s accomplice and many other unexplained oddities, audiences can expect a play that is quite different from the text of today.
There will be two performances, one on the 10th of June at Blackwells Bookshop and one on 11th June at Lady Margaret Hall.
The cast is as follows:
Claire Andreadis: Queen Gertred
Clare Humphrey: Horatio
Gavin Molloy: Marcellus / Voltemar/ Montano/ Laertes/ Guilderstone
Michael Palmer: Corambis (Polonius)/ Clowne Gravedigger
Tristan Pate: Centinel 2/ Rossencraft / Priest/ Foppish Gentleman
Natasha Rickman: Ofelia/ Second Clowne Gravedigger
Michael Sheldon: Ghost of Old Hamlet/ King (Claudius)/ The Player King
