Synopsis
Hamlet and Ophelia express the infinite variety of their passion in a work which takes the form of an epistolary play in verse.
Steven Berkoff's startlingly original drama charts the lovers' story beneath the surface of Shakespeare's play.
With a muscularity of language tempered with tenderness, Berkoff's play is shot through with images of courtly love, sexual desire and intimations of future tragedy.
The chill of the ending perfectly offsets the preceding violent heat in what is another unique piece of work from the individual talent that is Steven Berkoff.
<i>The Secret Love Life</i> <i>of Ophelia</i> was first performed at the King's Head Theatre, London, on 25 June 2001.
