Description Brisbane-based Frank Theatre delivers innovative, visually stunning theatre. Hamlet Stooged is a modern, urban update on the classic Hamlet, focusing on his madness and inner turmoil through a series of bizarre dreams and nightmares - it reminds me of the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive, in a disconnected and sensual way. Ira Seidenstein draws on his Cirque du Soleil background as the Russian Joker and Leah Shelton is sensational as the Gothic Cabaret style Ophelia. The show includes modern music such as Public Image Limited, Tokyo Shock Boys and the original sixties version of the Locomotion.
