HELSTON OLD CEMETERY CHAPEL
Friday 8th December 7.30pm
In his youth, Osric, a stylish and sensitive courtier at Elsinore Castle, witnessed Prince Hamlet and several other members of the Danish Royal family meet their untimely end. He's not spoken about it for over forty years, but, after a session with his therapist, he begins a series of exclusive interviews, eventually revealing all.
Finally he learns the importance of being true to oneself. The history books will have to be re-written.

What they said at the Fringe Fest in Barnstaple:
'Fantastic, moving and thought-provoking show. Interweaving the text with his imaginings. Funny and tender.'
‘Excellent performance – great changes of mood and insight into Malvolio’s tortured mind.’
‘Brilliant. Captivated all the way through. Humour and dark side of humanity. Brilliant sequel to Twelfth Night.’
‘Loved this play it had everything and I was completely wrapped up in the story. Really made me think too. Thank you.’
‘A Tour De Force!! Brilliant performance, tight structure and super content. Glad we caught it!’

Audience response:
'Amazing night at Thimblemill Library. Thank you. Really hit home with me by way of the subject matter due to a previous long term relationship that lead me to being referred to women's aid by social services. You dealt with it sympathetically, intelligently, with empathy, with humour and most of all with hope. An excellent piece of theatre for anyone to watch but for me it was cathartic and a joy!'
