Having s 3 quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times, I was full of c 4 until the Peking Opera came to town!
D 5 back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history. Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand? To find out the answer, I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan — the Peking Opera v 6 of Hamlet.
Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage. I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before! That was simply i 7 . It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure if the characters were performers 8 athletes! Everyone was clapping.
