Noir Hamlet by
5 Jul. 2024
“
Noir Hamlet is an intelligent and charming mashup of Shakespeare and film noir with loads of comic potential. John Minigan's script takes on a life of its own, beyond the tropes it plays with, and serves as a funny yet insightful pairing of these two genres. Despite the name, Minigan draws from Shakespeare's ideas beyond Hamlet for his script, and uses the language of film noir to deliver a sardonic punch. And there is real mystery here, right up through the last beat. ”
