I have no idea what date we're going, or where we're sitting other than some kind of balcony (based on the amount charged to my card), but WE HAVE RSC TICKETS!!!
Yeah, Hamlet, like Romeo and Juliet, is a bit overrated for me. I think it's some of Shakespeare's finest writing, but I prefer Much Ado About Nothing and Richard III. It's a very personal dislike: I don't care for any of the characters in Hamlet (I used to like Romeo and Juliet until I read it as an adult and realized that Romeo is stupid and Juliet, although more intelligent, loses a lot of points for liking stupid and overly dramatic Romeo). There's characters for me to like in Much Ado and Richard III! I love DT's performance in the audio play of the former.
If I went, it would be completely on my own, which has its own appeal... but I just couldn't get enough enthusiasm to break out the credit card and go.
