The play has a cast of more than 20 and the show will be about two hours with one intermission. “It has an easy plot line to follow and has one of the most famous sword fights in all drama,” Myers said. And his hope is that most people have some familiarity with it. Myers said he chose Hamlet because he thought they could cast it and have an audience for it. “At a bigger college they wouldn’t gain this experience.” “We challenge our students right away,” Myers said of having two freshmen in lead roles. “It’s the only way you can not worry about what people have been writing about it for the past 400 years.” “You have to try to ignore it and do it anyways,” Olson said. Shakespeare can be nerve raking to portray and can have a terrifying aura of acting it, Olson said. “The choices that she makes changes her personality and affects her, making her a deeper character,” Olson said. She has been rereading the play and said she always finds something new about her character. Olson said she has been working on a lot of mental work in trying to figure out the way Ophelia is the way she is. “I wanted to challenge myself and Ophelia is an important character in the story.” Playing Hamlet’s beloved Ophelia is Courtney Olson, a freshman at CWC and also from Riverton. Hamlet will be performed at the Main House of the Young Vic beginning next month. You just have to make it your own there is no right way you can take with Hamlet.” “There are many threads you can take with Hamlet. “I’ve done research and watched different versions,” Thornton said. Thornton has familiarity with Hamlet and read it in great depths in high school. I was honored to be chosen as Hamlet it’s a benchmark role when it comes to male leads in theater.” “I wanted the part of Hamlet but I would have been happy with any role. “I can cross that off of my bucket list,” Thornton said. Soldier:Barry Aird Danish Captain / Servant:Eddie Arnold Horatio:Leo Bill Ophelia:Sian Brooke Servant / Cornelius:Nigel Carrington Player King:Ruairi Conaghan Hamlet:Benedict Cumberbatch Guildenstern:Rudi Dharmalingam Priest / Messenger:Colin Haigh Official:Paul Ham Player Queen / Messenger:Diveen Henry Gertrude:Anastasia Hille Claudius. Hamlet will be played by Andrew Thornton of Riverton and a freshman at CWC, who said he was happy to be cast for the lead role. The audience can be right there in a sword fight.” “It makes the acting seem more natural and it helps the audience understand the play because they catch so much more of what is going on. “It gives the audience the feel of being immersed with the actors,” Myers said. Hamlet will be performed theatre-in-the-round where audience members will be on the stage surrounding the performance area.
