Comment: Re: SHK 10.0974 Q1 Hamlet Productions
Dear Terri:
Richard Schechner's production at the Performing Garage is a MODIFIED Q1
production, with the soliloquies and other items added, a mixture of
names from the Quarto and the Folio, a hybrid text but the basic
beginning text was Q1. There is great music and much interesting stage
work. Runs, as the announcement here said, until June 20, $12per
ticket, 33 Wooster Street, NY: 7:30 Wed - Sat; 2:30 Sat and Sun.

Kathleen Irace's 1998 New Cambridge edition of Q1 Hamlet has eight pages
on productions. The three from this decade that she describes are: 1992
Shakespeare in the Park, Fort Worth, Texas (directed by Michael Muller);
1992 Medieval Players tour of Great Britain (produced by Ben Benison);
and 1994 Oregon Shakespeare Festival (actually a staged reading
coordinated by Barry Kraft). She also describes the 1985 Orange Tree
production, as well as numerous earlier ones.

Comment: Re: SHK 10.0984 Re: Q1 Hamlet Productions
If the Ql (no scholar I) is the version reputedly written down by one or
several viewers with alternate readings and names of characters,
including "To be or not to be/that's the point", there is such a version
playing at this moment in New York at the Performing Garage directed by
Richard Schechner. (Not related to the Wooster Group). I didn't much
care for the production itself, but some of the variants weren't howlers
as Id expected. Many cuts also which went against the grain Q1 or
otherwise. But again, is this production Q1?
Production had Gertrud as Marilyn Monroe, and Rosen/Guilden combo as
women in bowlers and mustaches with rat pelts and tails inter alia
production belonged to avant garde of 20s at this point at least to
this observer more derriere garde
Await corrections however if Q1 is a different deal again, as non
scholar I always confuse Folios and Quartos.

FYI - I directed a production of Q1 Hamlet at the Shakespeare Institute
in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1996. There is a video of the production
available for viewing at the Institute Library.
