An interesting review of this new production of Hamlet in London:
"And so, it is no surprise — despite the shock-factor the director Sean Holmes was probably aiming for — when this latest staging opens with Ophelia singing Morrissey’s famous heart-breaking “I know it’s over”. It, initially, works very well: a mournful, moping ballad about loneliness and despair — what could be better for Hamlet?"
(Many more Smiths references in the full review...)
