Writing about the Play ⬇
Dame Harriet Walter - Gertrude, Hamlet
“When I was young, I played Ophelia in Hamlet, and I used to watch from the wings in the scene where he rails at his mother Gertrude in her bed chamber, and she never says anything back... to defend herself or explain her position... and I sat there thinking ‘Why don’t you say anything?’ So, this is what I think she would say, if she could.”
Coram SSF is a cultural education charity that exists to instil curiosity and empathy, aspiration and self-esteem, literacy and teamwork - giving young people the confidence to see that all the world is their stage.
