Oh, the seats were fabulous! They were not only so close to the stage but also on the side of the gallery. They were perfect. My friend couldn't warp her head arount it and asked me how I managed to get such tickets and I could only shrug and said it wasn't me who had done the magic :D.
Yes, it's going to be very interesting. As there are a few different manuscripts of Hamlet and each production does different things with cutting out parts because directors rarely do a four hours play, there are also different translations. I seriously hope they'll use the newer one. I read the first hundert pages in the old version and bought the new one because I found it so convoluted and stiff with that ancient language. The new version might be 'modern' but it's vivid and alive and therefore a lot better. And I'm sure lots of people disagree with me and see it just the other way around. LOL
