Hamlet (Kupenga Kwa)

This was a very original interpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The Kupenga kwa duo that performed it brought their own language to the stage, and combined this with the original text. I liked their rendition of Hamlet, and how they created different poses for each character, e.g. for Hamlet the actor would wipe his forehead, to let the audience know who he was without saying the character’s name. I found it strange that they included the audience at one point and also brought a comic element to the play, but however strange, it is quite enjoyable.
