The Secret Love Life Of Ophelia
by Steven Berkoff
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 new play charts the lovers' story beneath the surface of Shakespeare's play.
With a muscuiarity 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 periectly offsets the preceding violent heat.
Another unique piece of work from the individual talent that is Steven Berkoff.
