Ophelia Thinks Harder J. Betts & W. Shakespeare
Reviewers' comments include:- "Hamlet is doctored with a mightly sharp blade to make this a fantastic farce to rival the best of Shakespeare's." "This play has become a New Zealand classic, perfomed everywhere and a fixture on school and university curricula." "History is rewritten, speeches reworked and best of all, the best lines go to an incredibly hard-thinking Ophelia." "A passionate exploration of female myth and reality; patriarchy, marriage, the cult of the virgin - all get a right going-over." "Energy, scope, intellectual challenge and triumphant theatricality. Perfect play pillaging."
