After Hamlet

Although it has been more than one week since I saw Hamlet in Peking University, some scenes in the play still swirl around my ears.

The play I watch was performed by actors and actresses from TNT, one of the most renowned troupes in the world. Even if this group is clarified as D level in all the TNT casts, I still quiet enjoy the performance. I was deeply moved by the later performance and totally immersed in the story, despite the fact that they didn’t go into their roles quickly in the very beginning. The climax was my favorite. When the queen drunk the poison and died, I almost burst into tears. The leading actress did a perfect job. Actually all the players laid a solid foundation in acting. What’s more, they are versatility. Some of them sang graceful while others play instruments skillfully. It made me green-eyed.

Well, the fact that Shakespeare is believed as the treasure of the whole world ends up with the whole world performing his masterpieces. For my own part, however, no one can win more cheers and clapping than the English, and this thought was strengthened after I watched Hamlet. Hearing the classic lines was read out through those perfect British accents, I found my blood was burning. It was exactly the moment when I found myself could be happier without drama in my life. I couldn’t figure out the exact date which I fell in love with it, but I am sure I will love it in the rest of my life.

Sometimes I was jealous of one of my friends studying In the Central Drama Academy, cause drama is her everyday life. Rehearse and perform, day and night. I wanna be like that, but this will never gonna be my life. I wrote some scripts sometimes but the chance of performing them was really slim. This is reasonable because we are not in drama school. However, I still hope I can do more things related to drama in the future.
