Shakespeare Hamlet National Theatre programme 1963





Description:

National Theatre programme, 1963, for their inaugural production - which was Hamlet. Includes the free cast list.

Sunday Times, 27 Oct 1963:
When the curtain rose on the National Theatre's 'Hamlet' and I saw the mounting curves of Sean Kenny's dangerous rocks, and the poised figures of the sentinels against the sky, I had a great and delicious emotion of peril, as of one venturing into the realms of threatening ambush: that on looking at Desmond Heeley's rich gold brocades and jewels I felt that I had my hand upon the royalty on an age of high romance, and that when in his very first speech Peter O'Toole's grieved Hamlet spoke of 'customary suits of black' I felt in my throat that catch, down my spine the shiver which Housman says is the reward and the aim of the highest poetry.
