gael-garcia:Ruth Negga as HamletGate Theatre - Dublin, Ireland | 21 September - 27 October 2018 [ID: a series of gifs of Ruth Negga, a woman with short hair, as Hamlet, in stage lighting against a black set. 1: crouching and harshly backlit, she runs a hand through her hair and holds her head, distressed. 2. she bares her teeth with a wince, then looks away to the left, wetness visible on her cheek. 3. against a dark red curtain, she levels a knife at gertrude, who scrambles backward to put the bed between them. 4: she bends down to speak vehemently in the ear of someone curled in on themselves over a table, one hand on either side of them, then pulls back with an expression of contempt. 5: hamlet goes down on one knee to lean on the arm of an empty green armchair, placed centre stage like a throne. behind her, in warmer light, others face the back of the stage as if making a speech, holding hands. 6. hamlet and laertes fence, wearing fencing helmets and dark clothing. there are two white chandeliers and a few black-clad spectators visible. 7: hamlet holds up a skull, speaking to the audience with a spread stance. three black-hatted men hold rusty shovels behind her. 8: hamlet pulls two avid men in to listen with hands on the backs of their necks. just visible in her right hand is a short knife. 9: hands raised to clasp the back of her head, hamlet looks directly at the camera for the first time, crying out in horror. end ID] -- source link
