Govanhill Theatre presents – The Secret Love Life of Ophelia
17-21 November in the Steamie 7.30pm
Written by Steven Berkoff and Directed by Bruce Downie. Hamlet and Ophelia express the infinite variety of their passion in a work which takes the form of an epistolary play in verse. Steven Berkoff’s startlingly original drama charts the lovers’ story beneath the surface of Shakespeare’s play. With a muscularity of language tempered with tenderness, Berkoff’s play is shot through with images of courtly love, sexual desire and intimations of future tragedy.
Tickets are £5 from www.brownpapertickets.com on the opening night £1 tickets are available to anyone living in the G42 postcode area, email info@govanhillbaths.com or call 0141 433 2999 for details.
