I just got back from seeing a production of Hamlet. Put on
by actors from the Globe theatre. In Vanuatu. What???
The Globe theater has this program called Globe to Globe
Hamlet (http://globetoglobe.shakespearesglobe.com/),
that, over the course of two years, is performing Hamlet in every country in
the world. Every single one. Vanuatu was their 110th country, in the
course of about 13 months.
Cole, Avery and I were finishing our dive certification this
morning, and we got to talking with one of the other guys on the dive with us.
Turns out he is touring with them, and plays Hamlet. While he wasn’t performing
tonight, he gave us the details of the show, and even made sure that we could
get tickets.
I very much felt transported away from Vanuatu (except for the kava joke), and felt reminiscent of being at the Shakespeare festival in Ashland. I definitely never expected to watch Hamlet in Vanuatu, much less as performed by actors from the Globe! Man, I love this job.
